With the November 13, 2025 resumption of government operations following the government shutdown, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) has released Hospice Provider Preview Reports on CASPER.  Scheduled data refreshes and other routine updates were temporarily paused when offices were closed.

These reports contain provider performance scores for quality measures to be published on Care Compare in February 2026.

In the Provider Preview Reports, assessment-based measure scores are based on HIS 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 reflect claims data collected from Quarter 1, 2023 through Quarter 4, 2024.
