How this comparison works

We use the same calendar year of CMS Medicare Physician & Other Practitioners data for both providers. Published non-drug service counts are combined by HCPCS code across places of service. We apply log(1 + count), normalize the vectors, and compare them using cosine similarity.

Candidates share the reference provider’s current NPPES primary taxonomy and match the location you enter. We examine up to 500 candidates in NPI order, then show up to 12 with the highest positive similarity within that set. The score is not a percentile, medical recommendation, or prediction. Suppressed services are not estimated. Medicare fee-for-service data does not describe a provider’s entire practice.
