Arizona Hospice SSVI Scores
221 Medicare-certified hospices · average FY2025 SSVI 6.7 of 16
The average Arizona hospice scored 6.7 on the FY2025 SSVI, 0.3 points above the national average of 6.4.
Of that score, 4.4 comes from non-hospice spending and 2.4 from the eight claims-based utilization measures, so spending drives the state average.
36 of 221 Arizona agencies (16%) scored 10 or higher, the top band of the 0–16 range, compared with 13% of agencies nationally.
The SSVI is not a quality rating and does not indicate wrongdoing. It measures how far an agency's claims patterns diverge from peer norms. Source: CMS FY2027 Hospice Wage Index Final Rule (CMS-1851-F).
