Medicare Physician Compare-provider search
The Physician Compare search application for Medicare beneficiaries on medicare.gov provides a list of physicians in the specialty and geographic area they specify, along with detailed physician profiles (including participation status), maps, and driving directions. Provider information in this application is obtained from the Provider Enrollment, Chain, and Ownership System (PECOS). Providers must have a record in PECOS in order to be listed in the Physician Compare directory.
