Online HCUP Central Distributor

The Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project (HCUP) Nationwide and State Databases may be purchased online through the HCUP Central Distributor. HCUP is made possible by a Federal-State-Industry partnership sponsored by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ).

10/14/2022 NOTICE OF SERVICE INTERRUPTION: AHRQ is preparing to transition the online HCUP Central Distributor to a new system. It is expected that the site will be inaccessible for a period of time and order fulfillment will be delayed.

We are working to minimize the disruption, however, we strongly recommend that data users submit any data requests and complete payment as soon as possible to allow adequate time for processing and fulfillment.

This notice will be updated as new information and specific timing is available.

Database Catalog

The HCUP Nationwide and State Databases as well as supplemental files are available for purchase here. If you need both Nationwide and State databases for your project, you will need to submit separate orders. Nationwide Databases are delivered via secure digital download. State Databases are shipped on physical media (CD/DVD).

Use this catalog to find and select the items you would like to request. Use the Shopping Cart link to review and complete your application.

Note: In order to save your shopping cart beyond the current user session, you must register for an account. Items will remain in your shopping cart for thirty (30) days. Prior to checking out, you must complete the HCUP Data Use Agreement (DUA) Training Course (links to external site opens in new window) (approximately 15 minutes) and provide proof of the training in your account profile.
