To improve Medicare provider and supplier enrollment data transparency, in 2023, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services publicly released detailed ownership data, including data on change of ownership transactions, for Medicare-enrolled hospices. This brief presents a descriptive analysis of hospice agency changes of ownership nationally between 2018 and 2022. We found a small proportion of hospice agencies, ranging from 0.8% to 1.5% annually, underwent changes of ownership.
This brief was compiled and summarized by the HHS/ASPE Office of Behavioral Health, Disability, and Aging Policy (BHDAP). Additional research in this area is available at the ASPE Long-Term Services & Supports/Long-Term Care page.
