6,943 Medicare-certified hospices, identity-provenanced — including the May 2026 → February 2028 CAHPS measure-removal gap Fonteum maps explicitly.
Agency identity, ownership type, and CMS region for every Medicare-certified hospice — every field traced to the CMS Hospice General Information dataset, with methodology notes on the May 2026 measure change.
Read the methodology →The CMS Hospice QRP removed the “Training Family to Care for Patient” CAHPS item from public reporting in May 2026 — and won't restore it until February 2028. Fonteum documents the gap, the timeline, and what remains available across 6,943 Medicare-certified hospices in the current snapshot (69.0% for-profit by agency count).
Sources: CMS Hospice Care Compare May 2026 refresh note (Training Family measure removal); Hospice Data Dictionary May 2025 – May 2026; Alliance for Care at Home Facts and Figures 2025 (third-party industry report cites a higher patient-volume share — Fonteum uses the PDC agency-count grounded figure).
