Map-based visualizations of Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services provider charge data.

See the visualization at http://jseppi.github.io/cms-viz/

In 2013, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) released provider charge data for the top 100 inpatient services and top 30 outpatient services for over 3000 Medicare providers across the United States.

This visualization groups providers by their Hospital Referral Region, showing the average charge to Medicare, average payment from Medicare, and the % reduction from charge to payment for all of these health services.
