Colorado Hospice SSVI Scores
84 Medicare-certified hospices · average FY2025 SSVI 5.5 of 16
The average Colorado hospice scored 5.5 on the FY2025 SSVI — 0.9 points below the national average of 6.4.
Of that score, 4.1 comes from non-hospice spending and 1.4 from the eight claims-based utilization measures — spending drives the state average.
2 of 84 Colorado agencies (2%) scored 10 or higher, the top band of the 0–16 range — nationally, 13% of agencies do.
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).
