What does Data Coverage mean?
Data Coverage (currently Very High for Dr. McDowell) measures how much public federal data is available about a provider. It is not a quality rating.

A "Low" or "Moderate" level may simply mean the provider is newer, does not see Medicare patients, or has not received any industry payments — none of which are inherently negative.

Each data source has its own update cycle. Provider registry data (NPPES) is updated weekly. Medicare enrollment (PECOS) is updated monthly.

Industry payment data (Open Payments) is published annually, usually in June, covering the prior calendar year.
