Illinois Hospice SSVI Scores
146 Medicare-certified hospices · average FY2025 SSVI 6.5 of 16
The average Illinois hospice scored 6.5 on the FY2025 SSVI — 0.1 points above the national average of 6.4.
Of that score, 4.7 comes from non-hospice spending and 1.8 from the eight claims-based utilization measures — spending drives the state average.
13 of 146 Illinois agencies (9%) 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).
