The CMS change-of-ownership file lags. The most recent quarters are incomplete and fill in over the following months, so treat the last two years as a floor rather than a count.

What a Medicare Change of Ownership Actually Is
A CHOW is the formal Medicare process when a certified provider changes hands. The buyer either accepts assignment of the existing provider agreement — inheriting its compliance history and its liabilities — or the agreement terminates and the buyer enrolls fresh. The choice matters enormously to the buyer, and it is visible in the filing.
