Product methodology
Ownership and Related-Party Economics
Source contract, normalization path, entity-graph join, refresh posture, and publication limits for this Branmoor product.
Status
Pending. This product is pending. The methodology page is published first so the source contract and join path are visible before Branmoor represents the product as live.
Distribution Scope
Nationwide on demand; TN ownership layer; Nashville HCA/Vanderbilt/Ascension owner graph
Product Question
Surfaces economic-control, related-party, roll-up, lease, and management-fee risk.
Primary Sources
- CMS PECOS and ownership data — Provider ownership, enrollment, reassignment, and organizational relationships
- HCRIS ownership and cost-report exhibits — Provider ownership and related reporting fields
- IRS 990 and audited statements — Related-party transactions, leases, management fees, compensation, and grants
- SEC EDGAR and state corporation records — Parent/subsidiary chains and legal-entity relationships
Entity-Graph Join
`ccn`, organization `npi`, `irs_ein`, parent `edgar_cik`, officer/director names, parcel owner, lease counterparty.
Publication Rule
Branmoor does not treat raw public records as the product. A surface is publishable only when the source record is dated, normalized, source-linked, and joined to the relevant Branmoor entity identifiers with enough confidence to state the limits of the result.
Current Methodology Note
Pending methodology. Name-based officer, director, and lease-counterparty joins carry explicit match confidence and review status before becoming diligence claims.
Limits
Coverage follows the underlying source. Missing state portals, gated APIs, PDF-only filings, suppressed fields, lagged agency refreshes, and entity-name ambiguity can all limit product completeness. Pending products are not marketed as live until those limits are documented on the product surface.
