Prospect 811 is a prospecting tool that turns Medicare's public billing data into a searchable territory map for medical sales reps. You type in the procedure codes or drugs you sell, and it shows every provider who bills them, ranked by volume, with billing history, contact info, and a heatmap of your territory. It runs in your browser, costs $79 a month, and there's no sales call to sit through. You sign in and start searching.
The answer has been sitting in public data the whole time: CMS publishes what every provider in the country bills Medicare, by procedure code and by drug, every year. Most reps never touch it, because it ships as raw government files that take real data skills to work with. So they guess instead: asking around, Googling clinics, and burning windshield time on offices that turn out to be low volume. Prospect 811 exists to close that gap. It makes the data searchable by a rep in the truck, not just an analyst at a desk.
Yes. Search any provider by name or NPI and you get their Medicare billing history, year over year. The codes they bill, how many services, and the Medicare dollars behind them, plus their specialty, group affiliation, practice address, and phone number. It's the fastest way to walk into an office already knowing whether they're worth your time.
Anything reimbursed by Medicare: devices, DME, diagnostics, biologics, and drugs. If your product maps to HCPCS or CPT codes, the Part B and DME data shows who bills those codes. If you sell pharma, the Part D side shows every prescriber's drug-level claim counts, brand and generic. Under the hood it's 427 million billing and prescribing records across twelve linked datasets, covering 2013 through 2024.
Doug is the AI assistant built into Prospect 811. Ask him in plain English ("who are the top wound care billers in my territory I haven't visited?") and he runs the searches, cross-references your pipeline, and hands back a ranked list. He can also propose CRM updates and pull your activity reports. He's included on every plan.
Straight from public CMS and HHS releases. Medicare Provider Utilization & Payment files (Part B, DME, and the Part D prescriber files), the NPPES provider registry, provider affiliations, Medicare enrollment records, patient panel summaries, and openFDA drug labels. Prospect 811 organizes and connects these sources; it doesn't add to or alter the underlying numbers. Not affiliated with or endorsed by CMS.
Yes. These are public files that CMS publishes specifically so the public can see how Medicare dollars are spent. They contain no patient information at all: CMS suppresses any line with fewer than 11 beneficiaries (10 or fewer claims on the prescription side) before release, so what's published is provider-level aggregates only. Using it to figure out which providers to call on is exactly the kind of use public data exists for.
No. This is traditional Medicare fee-for-service data: Part B, DME, and Part D. No commercial payers, no Medicare Advantage. That's a real limitation and we'd rather tell you than have you find out later. Here's the other side of it: if you're selling a newer product, Medicare is usually where your first customers are, because private payers rarely cover a product before Medicare does. The slice this data covers is the slice most reps prospect first. The full honest picture is on the data page.
CMS publishes these files annually, roughly a year behind the claims themselves. Right now Part B and Part D run through 2024 and DME through 2023, and new years load in as CMS releases them. For prospecting, that matters less than it sounds: billing patterns are stable, and the provider who billed your code heavily last year is almost always still the right door to knock this year. What the lag actually costs you is spotting a brand-new practice in its first months. What it gets you is a price an individual rep can pay, because public data is free to build on.
They're built for the company. Prospect 811 is built for the rep. Definitive Healthcare and AcuityMD are serious enterprise platforms, sold on annual contracts through sales teams, and in practice the data usually lives with an analyst or a sales ops person who slices it and hands reps a spreadsheet. Prospect 811 flips that: the rep gets the data directly, self-serve, at $79 a month on a personal card. We wrote up the full side-by-side, including where they genuinely beat us, on the comparison page.
Yes, they do, and we're not going to pretend otherwise. Both license commercial claims data from aggregators, which gets them private-payer coverage and fresher numbers. What we'd point out is what that difference is actually worth to a rep: commercial claims matter most on mature products with broad payer coverage, and new products live on Medicare first. And more data behind an analyst you have to wait on is worth less than enough data in your own hands today.
Ask yourself one question: can you personally log in and run a search right now? If yes, you're covered, and we'd honestly tell you to use it. Most reps can't. The license belongs to the company, an analyst runs the queries, and the rep gets a static list every quarter. If that's you, $79 a month puts the data in your own hands, on your schedule, with nobody between you and the answer.
For an individual rep or a small team prospecting on Medicare data: yes, that's exactly what Prospect 811 is. $79 a month, self-serve, no contract, no demo call, cancel anytime. What you give up is commercial-payer claims and the enterprise feature set, which is a trade that makes sense for a rep and doesn't for a Fortune 500 data team. The comparison page lays out who should pick which.
$79 per month for a single rep, or $63 a month billed annually. Teams run $119 per rep per month ($95 annual, 3-seat minimum) and add a manager view, territory assignment, and team roll-ups. Every plan gets the entire dataset and every tool from the first seat. The data is never the upgrade. Full details on the pricing page.
No. It's priced so you don't have to ask anybody. Sign up with a personal card, self-serve, no procurement, no demo call. Plenty of reps expense it afterward, and when your company wants in, the Team plan is the upgrade path. You bringing the tool to the team meeting is how that usually happens.
Yes. Your statuses, notes, and contacts are scoped to your login. On a solo plan, nobody else sees them, period. On a Team plan, manager visibility is explicit and disclosed: reps who joined independently choose which providers they share with the team, and accounts created by a company are told exactly what the manager can see at first login. No silent surveillance either way.
Cancel anytime, yourself, from the billing portal. No email, no phone call, no retention script. And if it's not right for you, email us within 14 days of your first charge and we refund it in full, no questions asked. We can offer that because the product either earns its seat in your first two weeks of prospecting or it doesn't deserve your money. Details in the refund policy.
Sign in with Google or a magic link at prospect811.com, pick a code you sell, and search. There's nothing to install and no onboarding call. If you want to see what the data can do before signing up, grab the free guide: it teaches you how to pull the same answers out of the raw CMS files yourself, no purchase required.
Pick one code you sell, draw your territory, and see who's billing it. That search answers more than any FAQ can.
