Revalidation disclaimer: The next anticipated revalidation date is an estimated date that may be subject to change based on factors such as a timing lag, updates made to an enrollment file prior to revalidation, and the State’s ability to extend the date for certain providers. Therefore, providers should make sure the correspondence address on their enrollment file is current, and providers should not submit a revalidation package until they receive a notice in the mail to do so. The notice will contain the deadline for submitting the revalidation.

This is a list of active Medicaid fee-for-service (FFS), Managed Care Only and Ordering, Prescribing, Referring, Attending (OPRA) providers. Data elements include the provider’s Medicaid Provider ID, NPI, provider or facility name, Medicaid type, profession or service, provider specialty, service address, city, state, zip code, county, telephone number, latitude, longitude, enrollment begin date, next anticipated revalidation date, date the file was extracted from the data warehouse and a Medically Fragile Children and Adults Directory Indicator.

Note: This dataset is no longer being updated as of September 1, 2023.
This dataset includes information on the number of tests of individuals for COVID-19 infection performed in New York State beginning March 1, 2020, when the first case of COVID-19 was identified in the state. The primary goal of publishing this dataset is to provide users timely information about local disease spread and reporting of positive cases. The data will be updated daily, reflecting tests completed by 12:00 am (midnight) the day of the update (i.e., all tests reported by the end of the day on the day before the update).

Note: On November 14, 2020, only 14 hours of laboratory data was collected and shared. A 2:00 pm cutoff time was implemented, allowing the NYSDOH to enhance data quality reviews. All other published laboratory data represented 24 hours of data collection.

As of April 4, 2022, the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) no longer requires entities conducting COVID testing to report negative or indeterminate antigen test results. This may impact the number and interpretation of total test results reported to the state and also impacts calculation of test percent positivity. Because of this, as of April 5, 2022, test percent positivity is calculated using PCR tests only. Reporting of total new daily cases (positive results) will continue to include PCR and antigen tests.

Reporting of SARS-CoV2 laboratory testing results is mandated under Part 2 of the New York State Sanitary Code. Clinical laboratories, as defined in Public Health Law (PHL) § 571 electronically report test results to the New York State Department of Health (DOH) via the Electronic Clinical Laboratory Reporting System (ECLRS). The DOH Division of Epidemiology’s Bureau of Surveillance and Data System (BSDS) monitors ECLRS reporting and ensures that all positives and negatives are accurate. Starting September 30, 2020, this data also includes pooled/batch tests reported by institutions of higher education. This is also known as surveillance testing and not performed by a clinical laboratory.

Test counts reflect those reported to DOH each day. A person may have multiple specimens tested on one day, these would be counted one time, i.e., if two specimens are collected from an individual at the same time and then evaluated, the outcome of the evaluation of those two samples to diagnose the individual is counted as a single test of one person, even though the specimens may be tested separately. Conversely, if an individual is tested on more than one day, the data will show two tests of an individual, one for each date the person was tested. An individual will only be counted positive one time.

Test counts are assigned to a county based on this order of preference: 1) the patient’s address, 2) the ordering healthcare provider/campus address, or 3) the ordering facility/campus address.

This data includes the name and location of food service establishments and the violations that were found at the time of their last inspection. Although violation details are collected on inspection reports (i.e., the actual food item, quantity and temperature of food found out of temperature control) as well as corrective actions for critical violations, this data set is limited to the violation number and the corresponding general violation description. This dataset is for reporting purposes only. Any concerns about individual establishments should be referred to the corresponding Local Health Department.

The Genealogical Research Death Index assists individuals with locating New York State (NYS) death records that fall within defined genealogy years, exclusive of New York City recorded death records. This Index contains information on decedents, date of death, gender, age at death, and NYS file number that will allow the public to search for individuals on a variety of genealogy criteria if on file for at least 50 years.

The New York State Department of Health Radon Program contracts with a radon testing laboratory to provide short-term charcoal radon test kits, radon test kit analysis, and results to residents. The contract laboratory provides the radon test results to the individual home owner and the Radon Program. All testing data is entered into our database. From this database, we are able to create radon prevalence maps, design special outreach activities and campaigns, and track the location in the home where the detector was placed.

This dataset contains the locations of Article 28, Article 36, Article 40, and Article 7 health care facilities and programs from the Health Facilities Information System (HFIS). Article 28 facilities are hospitals, nursing homes, diagnostic treatment centers and midwifery birth centers. Article 36 facilities are certified home health care agencies, licensed home care services agencies, and long term home health care programs. Article 40 facilities are hospices. Article 7 are licensed adult care facilities.

The dataset currently only contains the locations of hospitals and hospital extension clinics. The data for the remaining facility types will be added in the future.

Note: To align with other long term care programs, as of January 15, 2022, the Department has retired the standalone Adult Care Facility (ACF) Directory located at https://health.data.ny.gov/Health/Adult-Care-Facility-Directory/wssx-idhx/data. ACF data is posted online at https://health.data.ny.gov/Health/Health-Facility-Certification-Information/2g9y-7kqm and https://health.data.ny.gov/Health/Health-Facility-General-Information/vn5v-hh5r. Each licensed facility’s operating certificate number is located at https://health.data.ny.gov/Health/Health-Facility-Certification-Information/2g9y-7kqm and its capacity located at https://health.data.ny.gov/Health/Health-Facility-General-Information/vn5v-hh5r. To retrieve both sets of data, a user must download both referenced datasets with the understanding that the common delineator is the Facility ID, a site-specific identification assigned to each licensed ACF. Downloaded data will contain all licensed ACFs, and can be filtered in a variety of ways at the user’s discretion. Questions may be directed to the New York State Department of Health via the “Contact Dataset Owner” box on each page.

This dataset includes weekly counts of laboratory-confirmed influenza (flu) cases, by county and influenza type, going back to the 2009-10 season. The primary goal of this dataset is to provide users timely information about local influenza activity throughout the current influenza season. Although each influenza season is unique, historical data is also provided for trend comparison. In view of persisting elevated influenza activity throughout NYS, NYSDOH is extending the surveillance 2021-2022 season beyond May until influenza activity has decreased. In view of persisting elevated influenza activity throughout NYS, NYSDOH is extending the surveillance season beyond May until influenza activity has decreased.

Cases are included that meet the New York State Department of Health’s (NYSDOH) standardized case definition, i.e., a positive result on any of the following influenza laboratory tests:
• Rapid Influenza Diagnostic Tests (RIDT)
• Immunofluorescence assays (DFA and IFA)
• Rapid Molecular Assays
• Reverse Transcriptase Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR)
• Other Nucleic Acid Amplification tests
• Viral Culture
Please see the overview document for more details about NYSDOH’s influenza case definition. Cases reported during the CDC-defined influenza surveillance season (week 40-week 20 of the next calendar year; October through mid-May) are included. For more information see: http://www.health.ny.gov/diseases/communicable/influenza/surveillance/.

This dataset contains information submitted by New York State Article 28 Hospitals as part of the New York Statewide Planning and Research Cooperative (SPARCS) and Institutional Cost Report (ICR) data submissions. The file contains information on the volume of discharges, All Payer Refined Diagnosis Related Group (APR-DRG), the severity of illness level (SOI), medical or surgical classification the median charge, median cost, average charge and average cost per discharge.

The Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) is an annual statewide telephone surveillance system designed by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). BRFSS monitors modifiable risk behaviors and other factors contributing to the leading causes of morbidity and mortality in the population. New York State's BRFSS sample represents the non-institutionalized adult household population, aged 18 years and older.

Although the overall number of respondents in the BRFSS is more than sufficiently large for statistical inference purposes, subgroup analyses can lead to estimates that are unreliable. Interpreting and reporting weighted numbers that are based on a small, unweighted number of respondents can mislead the reader into believing that a given finding is much more precise than it actually is. The BRFSS follows a rule of not reporting or interpreting percentages based upon a denominator of fewer than 50 respondents (unweighted sample). Both a csv and sas data files are available.

The School Immunization Survey collects aggregate data from schools in New York State regarding the immunization status of all students attending school. All schools, excluding New York City public schools, have reported the immunization status of all students in grades kindergarten through 12.

The datasets contain number of Medicaid PQI hospitalizations (numerator), county Medicaid population (denominator), observed rate, expected number of hospitalizations and rate, and risk-adjusted rate for Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality Prevention Quality Indicators – Adult (AHRQ PQI) for Medicaid enrollees beginning in 2011.

This dataset includes information at the reporting facility level on patients hospitalized, admitted, discharged and fatalities. It also includes information on staffed beds. Patient information collected as part of the HERDS Hospital Survey are lab-confirmed COVID-19 positive. Hospitalized means patients admitted as inpatients in either inpatient or observation beds and does not include patients that were treated and released from an Emergency Department. The title of this dataset was initially the Hospital Electronic Response Data System (HERDS) Hospital Survey: COVID-19 Hospitalizations and Beds. The dataset was changed to its current title on 11/4/2021.
