The February 2026 quarterly refresh for the Hospice Quality Reporting Program is now available on the Compare tool on Medicare.gov.
In this refresh, Hospice assessment measure scores are based on data submitted by hospices from Quarter 2, 2024 through Quarter 1, 2025. CAHPS measure scores are based on CAHPS data submitted from Quarter 2, 2023 through Quarter 1, 2025. CAHPS Star Ratings are calculated based on data from Quarter 2, 2023 through Quarter 1, 2025. The claims-based measures reflects updates from November 2025.
Reminder: one CAHPS measure-Training family to care for patient-will be removed from public reporting beginning with the May 2026 refresh due to changes in how the question was revised in 2025. Reporting of this measure is expected to resume with the February 2028 refresh.
