Hospices can now access the latest Provider Preview Reports via iQIES. These reports contain provider performance scores for quality measures, which will be published on the compare tool on Medicare.gov and the Provider Data Catalog (PDC) during the November 2026 refresh. In the Provider Preview Reports, CAHPS measure scores are based on CAHPS data submitted from Quarter 1, 2024 through Quarter 4, 2025. CAHPS Star Ratings are calculated based on data from Quarter 4, 2023 through Quarter 3, 2025. The claims-based measures reflect claims data collected from Quarter 1, 2024 through Quarter 4, 2025.
Once released in iQIES, providers will have a total of 60 days to review reports. CMS encourages providers to download and save their Hospice Provider Preview Reports for future reference, as they will no longer be available in iQIES after this 60-day period.
