For care providers
Be easy to find for families who need care.
PlanScout is your free guide to Medicare planning — for everything Medicare covers: plans, care and equipment. Families and the people who help them use it to find care near them. Partnering with us is free.
What you get
A claimed, verified listing
You confirm who you are. Your listing then shows that you manage it.
Your own Lookbook
Tell families who you are, why they choose you, and add up to eight photos. We review it before it goes live.
Insurance accepted
Show which plans and payers you take, so families know before they call.
Visibility reports
See how often families view your listing and ask for an introduction.
Found by the right people
Families, licensed agents and discharge planners search PlanScout by place and need.
Referral inbox, coming soon
A way to receive families who ask for you is not live yet. We will say so here when it is.

Our rules
- No paid placement. Nobody can pay to rank higher.
- No referral fees. We do not charge you, and we do not pay anyone, for a family who contacts you.
- Listings are ranked by published quality signals. Medicare quality data is shown exactly as Medicare publishes it.
- Your Lookbook is labeled as written by you and kept apart from the Medicare facts.
What families see for your type
Nursing homes and assisted living
- Medicare star ratings, staffing and inspection results for nursing homes
- State license details for assisted living
- Insurance accepted and your Lookbook
- How far you are from the family searching
Medicare quality data for nursing homes is shown unchanged. You can add context in your Lookbook, but you cannot edit the ratings.
Home health, home care and hospice
- Medicare quality ratings and patient survey results for home health and hospice
- The ZIP codes you serve
- State license details for home care
- Insurance accepted and your Lookbook
Families often search by ZIP code. Keeping your service area current helps the right families find you.
Medical equipment suppliers
- Your Medicare supplier record and phone number
- Accreditation badges
- Items you supply and the areas you deliver to
- Insurance accepted and your Lookbook
Families and agents search for suppliers near them. We show the supplier record from Medicare and what you add.

Questions
What does it cost?
Nothing. Listings are free and partnering is free.
Can I pay to rank higher?
No. We do not sell placement. Ranking uses published quality signals.
Do you take a fee for referrals?
No. We charge no referral fees and we do not pay anyone for referrals.
Can I change my Medicare ratings?
No. Medicare quality data is shown as Medicare publishes it. You can add context in your Lookbook.
How do you check that I own the listing?
You sign in with a work email. We then call the phone number on your public record. We never call a number you give us.
When will the referral inbox open?
We have not set a date. When it opens, it will be free and families will choose to contact you.
