Kansas hospices: 85 Medicare-certified, source-cited identity + ownership data.
Ownership type, certification date, and CMS region for every Medicare-certified hospice in Kansas. CAHPS Hospice experience-of-care measures live in a separate CMS dataset (252m-zfp9) and are not included in this snapshot.
Editorial note: Kansas is a state where source-cited public-data coverage of hospice ownership is materially thinner than national averages — Fonteum prioritizes full provenance + state context here.
Ownership breakdown — Kansas
Hospice ownership concentration is the documented quality-of-care variable in policy literature; Fonteum surfaces the breakdown explicitly.
Hospice quality measures — what this page can and cannot show
Unlike nursing homes or home health, the CMS Hospice General Information file (yc9t-dgbk) that backs this page does notcarry star ratings or quality scores. Hospice quality is reported in the separate CAHPS Hospice Survey dataset (252m-zfp9), and CMS suppressed publicly reported hospice quality measures during the documented May 2026 → February 2028 transition to the new HOPE assessment.
Rather than fabricate a rating, Fonteum renders the fields that genuinely exist for every Kansas hospice: CMS-certified identity, ownership type, CMS region, and Medicare certification date. When the HOPE-based measures publish, they will land here traced to their source.

Kansas hospices — FAQ
- How many Medicare-certified hospices are in Kansas?
- 85 Medicare-certified hospices operate in Kansas as of the CMS Hospice General Information snapshot (2026-05-07). 56.5% are for-profit — ownership concentration is the documented quality-of-care variable in the hospice policy literature.
- Does Fonteum show hospice star ratings for Kansas?
- No — and that is an honest data gap, not an omission. The CMS Hospice General Information file (yc9t-dgbk) that backs this page carries identity, ownership, and certification only. Hospice quality lives in the separate CAHPS Hospice Survey dataset (252m-zfp9), and CMS suppressed publicly reported hospice quality measures during the May 2026 → February 2028 transition to the new HOPE assessment. Fonteum renders the fields that exist rather than fabricating a rating.
- What can I learn from this hospice data today?
- For every Kansas hospice you get its CMS-certified identity, ownership type, CMS region, and Medicare certification date — enough to map the ownership landscape and track when each provider entered the program. Each row links to a per-hospice provenance page.
- Where does this hospice data come from and how current is it?
- All columns trace to the CMS Hospice General Information dataset (PDC yc9t-dgbk), source-modified 2026-01-08. Fonteum redistributes the public-domain CMS file unaltered; cross-check any hospice at Medicare.gov.
