Healthcare data teams lose weeks every quarter downloading, parsing, and normalizing regulatory datasets that should already be ready to query.
CMS Medicare Advantage enrollment files arrive as flat extracts with inconsistent formatting. OIG exclusion lists require manual reconciliation across multiple sources. Hospital quality data needs schema mapping before it can join to internal provider tables.
That engineering tax adds up. And it repeats every refresh cycle.
Element Data just released five new healthcare datasets on Snowflake Marketplace. Each one is normalized, refreshed regularly, and ready to query from day one.
What Just Launched: Healthcare Datasets on Snowflake
These five datasets extend Element Data’s coverage of critical healthcare regulatory and clinical reference data.
OIG LEIE, GSA SAM.gov Exclusions, and Aggregated Medicaid Exclusions
Provider exclusion screening is a compliance requirement for any organization billing federal healthcare programs. The challenge is that exclusion data lives across multiple sources: the OIG List of Excluded Individuals and Entities, GSA’s SAM.gov exclusions, and state-level Medicaid exclusion lists.
Element Data now offers all three in normalized, Snowflake-native format. The Medicaid exclusions dataset aggregates data from 43 states into a single queryable table.
For compliance teams, this means faster exclusion screening without building and maintaining separate ingestion pipelines for each source.
CMS Medicare Advantage and Part D Data Suite
Medicare Advantage analytics require multiple interlocking datasets: monthly enrollment counts, Star Ratings, plan benefits, and plan crosswalks that track contract and plan ID changes over time.
CMS publishes these separately, with different file formats and release schedules. Joining them requires schema mapping and careful version control.
Element Data’s Medicare Advantage suite delivers all four components normalized and pre-joined where relevant. Monthly enrollment data, Star Ratings by contract and plan, detailed benefits information, and crosswalk tables that let you track plans across contract ID changes.
If you are building Medicare Advantage market analysis, network adequacy reporting, or plan comparison tools, this suite eliminates the data preparation step entirely.

CMS Hospital Care Compare Quality Suite
Hospital quality reporting depends on CMS Hospital Compare data. Patient experience scores, mortality rates, readmission rates, timely and effective care measures.
The raw CMS files require significant normalization before they are usable for benchmarking or network analysis. Measure codes change. Hospital identifiers need cross-referencing. Time periods overlap inconsistently.
Element Data’s Hospital Care Compare dataset delivers the full quality suite in a clean schema, ready to join to your provider tables using CCN or NPI identifiers.
RxNorm
RxNorm is the standard vocabulary for clinical drug names in the US. It maps between brand names, generic names, NDC codes, and ingredient-level concepts.
Any analytics workflow that touches medication data needs RxNorm for normalization. Claims analysis, formulary management, clinical decision support, medication reconciliation.
Element Data’s RxNorm dataset is delivered in Snowflake-native format, updated with each NLM release, and structured for direct joins to your prescription or claims tables.
LOINC
LOINC is the universal standard for identifying laboratory and clinical observations. Lab results, vital signs, diagnostic tests.
If your analytics touch clinical data from EHRs, lab systems, or claims with procedure codes, LOINC codes are how you normalize and aggregate across sources.
Element Data’s LOINC dataset provides the full terminology in a queryable Snowflake table, eliminating the need to download and parse the LOINC distribution files yourself.
Why This Matters for Healthcare Data Teams
Every dataset listed above is publicly available from its source agency. The problem is not access. The problem is time.
Downloading CMS files, parsing inconsistent formats, mapping schema changes across releases, and loading into your warehouse takes engineering hours that could be spent on analysis.
Element Data handles the normalization. You get clean tables in Snowflake, refreshed on a regular cadence, with schemas designed to join directly to your internal data.
No pipelines to build. No cleaning sprints before the work can start.

Built for Enterprise Data Teams
Snowflake SEs regularly demo Element Data to healthcare and life sciences prospects. Consultancies like ZS and Deloitte evaluate our datasets for client engagements. Provider networks, payers, and pharma companies use our data in production analytics.
These datasets are built for teams with real workloads and real deadlines. Not academic research. Not proof-of-concept experiments. Production analytics at enterprise scale.
Frequently Asked Questions
Where can I find CMS Medicare Advantage enrollment data on Snowflake?
Element Data offers a complete CMS Medicare Advantage data suite on Snowflake Marketplace, including monthly enrollment counts, Star Ratings, plan benefits, and plan crosswalk tables. The data is normalized and refreshed regularly, ready to query without building ingestion pipelines.
How do I screen providers against the OIG exclusion list in Snowflake?
Element Data provides the OIG LEIE dataset in Snowflake-native format, along with GSA SAM.gov exclusions and aggregated Medicaid exclusion data from 43 states. You can join these tables directly to your provider data for automated exclusion screening.
Is RxNorm available on Snowflake Marketplace?
Yes. Element Data delivers the RxNorm vocabulary as a Snowflake-native dataset, updated with each NLM release. It includes mappings between brand names, generic names, NDC codes, and ingredient-level concepts.
What hospital quality metrics are included in the Hospital Care Compare dataset?
Element Data’s Hospital Care Compare dataset includes the full CMS quality suite: patient experience scores, mortality rates, readmission rates, and timely and effective care measures. The data is normalized and structured for joins using CCN or NPI identifiers.
How often are these healthcare datasets refreshed?
Refresh cadence varies by dataset based on the source agency’s release schedule. CMS Medicare Advantage data is updated monthly. OIG LEIE is refreshed monthly. RxNorm and LOINC follow their respective source release cycles. All datasets are delivered normalized and ready to query immediately after each refresh.
