Pennsylvania hospices: 183 Medicare-certified, source-cited identity + ownership data.
Ownership type, certification date, and CMS region for every Medicare-certified hospice in Pennsylvania. CAHPS Hospice experience-of-care measures live in a separate CMS dataset and are not included in this snapshot.
Ownership breakdown — Pennsylvania
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 Pennsylvania 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.

Pennsylvania hospices — FAQ
- How many Medicare-certified hospices are in Pennsylvania?
- 183 Medicare-certified hospices operate in Pennsylvania as of the CMS Hospice General Information snapshot (2026-05-07). 65.0% are for-profit — ownership concentration is the documented quality-of-care variable in the hospice policy literature.
- Does Fonteum show hospice star ratings for Pennsylvania?
- 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 Pennsylvania 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.
