*Data displayed for the most recent months may be subject to fluctuations resulting from delays in Medicare claims processing. These delays arise when there is a gap between the day a service is rendered and the day a medical provider seeks payment for that service from CMS. Generally, 90 percent of claims are received and processed by CMS within 12 weeks of service.
