Root NPI Graph was an improved version of the FOIA “shared Medicare patients in time” provider teaming dataset. This was the second version of the “DocGraph” dataset and is often called the Doctor Referral dataset as referred to by Medicare. It includes both implicit and explicit referral relationships between doctors, hospitals and other types of entities.

Note that this dataset has been deprecated in favor of the new DocGraph HOP teaming dataset. For all new projects, please use that dataset. We maintain these datasets here mainly for comparison and archival purposes.

The physician referral data linked below was provided as a response to a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request that CareSet made more than 5 years ago.

These datasets can be difficult to find on the CMS website and sometimes the CMS resource is down, for this reason, we mirror this dataset here.

These files represent the number of encounters a single beneficiary has had across physicians at intervals of 30, 60, 90 and 180 days. For more details about the file contents for years 2009 – 2015, please see the Technical Requirements document.

Note that this dataset has been deprecated in favor of the new DocGraph HOP teaming dataset. For all new projects, please use that dataset. We also maintain these datasets because they go back farther than HOP, which could be useful for long-term analysis projects.
