Louisiana Hospice SSVI Scores
121 Medicare-certified hospices · average FY2025 SSVI 6.3 of 16
The average Louisiana hospice scored 6.3 on the FY2025 SSVI — 0.1 points below the national average of 6.4.
Of that score, 4.4 comes from non-hospice spending and 1.8 from the eight claims-based utilization measures — spending drives the state average.
8 of 121 Louisiana agencies (7%) 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).
