License and attribution

CMS and HUD data is public domain. The compilation is CC BY 4.0: credit "Data: SNF Register (hudskillednursing.loan)" with a link. SNF Register is published by Janover Capital LLC and is not affiliated with CMS, HUD or FHA. Nothing returned is an appraisal or a loan offer.

Questions

Is there a cost or an API key?

No. The server is free, read-only and needs no key or sign-in. Please cite the page or the CMS or HUD source that comes back with each answer.

Where does the data come from?

The same CMS and HUD files as the facility and state pages: CMS provider, ownership, Medicare enrollment and change-of-ownership files, and HUD's insured-mortgage files and healthcare endorsement database. Every answer names the file and its date. HUD has no CMS number, so loans are matched by name, city and beds; the methodology page explains the match and what it can get wrong.

Is the sizer a loan quote?

No. It is the same arithmetic as the HUD 232 refinance sizer on this site, run on the numbers you give it. The rate is your assumption. It is not an appraisal, a quote or a commitment.
