Fonteum Care Compare · Montana

Montana hospices: 32 Medicare-certified, source-cited identity + ownership data.

Ownership type, certification date, and CMS region for every Medicare-certified hospice in Montana. CAHPS Hospice experience-of-care measures live in a separate CMS dataset and are not included in this snapshot.

Editorial note: Montana is a state where source-cited public-data coverage of hospice ownership is materially thinner than national averages — Fonteum prioritizes full provenance + state context here.

Ownership breakdown — Montana

Hospice ownership concentration is the documented quality-of-care variable in policy literature; Fonteum surfaces the breakdown explicitly.

Hospice quality measures — what this page can and cannot show

Unlike nursing homes or home health, the CMS Hospice General Information file that backs this page does notcarry star ratings or quality scores. Hospice quality is reported in the separate CAHPS Hospice Survey dataset, and CMS suppressed publicly reported hospice quality measures during the documented May 2026 → February 2028 transition to the new HOPE assessment.

Rather than fabricate a rating, Fonteum renders the fields that genuinely exist for every Montana hospice: CMS-certified identity, ownership type, CMS region, and Medicare certification date. When the HOPE-based measures publish, they will land here traced to their source.

Montana hospices — FAQ

How many Medicare-certified hospices are in Montana?
32 Medicare-certified hospices operate in Montana as of the CMS Hospice General Information snapshot (2026-05-07). 40.6% are for-profit — ownership concentration is the documented quality-of-care variable in the hospice policy literature.
Does Fonteum show hospice star ratings for Montana?
No — and that is an honest data gap, not an omission. The CMS Hospice General Information file that backs this page carries identity, ownership, and certification only. Hospice quality lives in the separate CAHPS Hospice Survey dataset, and CMS suppressed publicly reported hospice quality measures during the May 2026 → February 2028 transition to the new HOPE assessment. Fonteum renders the fields that exist rather than fabricating a rating.
What can I learn from this hospice data today?
For every Montana hospice you get its CMS-certified identity, ownership type, CMS region, and Medicare certification date — enough to map the ownership landscape and track when each provider entered the program. Each row reports those fields directly in the state inventory.
Where does this hospice data come from and how current is it?
The displayed fields come from the CMS Hospice General Information file, source-modified 2026-01-08. Fields can be absent; cross-check a consequential hospice record at Medicare.gov.

Integrated, with-data, and fresh-observation counts are separate. No platform-wide source-completeness count is published. Completeness is source-specific and must be evaluated against the named source's expected scope. State coverage is a separate jurisdiction measure.

Source authority is record-specific

Use the issuer named on the record.

Fonteum spans federal, state, and global public publishers. A source page or returned record identifies its issuer and dataset where that metadata is available. A platform registry count does not assign every page to one authority or establish loaded, fresh, or complete coverage.

Reproducible by design

Inspect the evidence each published figure actually supplies.

Source and date

Research pages expose the named public file and observation date where those fields are available. Source-file SHA-256 coverage is separate; facts do not currently link deterministically to signatures.

Available derivation

Studies with a retained release and committed derivation link the SQL or method used. Other studies state the evidence and reproduction limits they actually have.

Daily observations

Dated table row-count observations can detect local drift. They do not imply that an upstream publisher released or Fonteum ingested new data that day.
