HRSA table as retrieved 21 July 2026.

HRSA publishes one row per Provider Relief Fund payment, with the provider's name, city, state and amount. This list takes HRSA's full table from data.cdc.gov, groups its rows by provider name and state, sums the payments, and ranks by the sum.

What this measures, and what it does not

This ranks the name on the payment, not the health system behind it. A system that billed through several named subsidiaries is split across several rows; a system that billed through one entity is not. The order is a ranking of payees, and a group-level ranking would look different.

HRSA's names are taken verbatim, misspellings included — the largest row reads "NEW YORK CITY HEALTH HOSTITALS" in the published file. The archive does not correct source data.

Every name in the 25 above is an organization. Further down the same table HRSA's rows name individual clinicians and single-doctor practices; this list stops at 25 and does not reach them.

American Rescue Plan Rural Distribution payments are published by HRSA in a separate table (47,087 rows; we have a copy) and are not included in these totals. Payments are nominal dollars and are not adjusted for the size of the provider, its patient volume, or its reported COVID-19 losses.
