How the peer group was built
- Freestanding hospices with 5-20k total patient days (your band), one cost report each for fiscal years beginning in 2025 (the HCRIS file year; latest status CMS holds, settled or as-submitted), total days, revenue and expenses all above zero.
- Geography: in TX. Pool size 341 hospices; the 10 named below are the closest by patient days, same-state first.
- Percentiles are your position within the full pool of 341 (share of peers below you). Medians are pool medians. Per-day figures divide the F-2 totals by S-1 total unduplicated days; cost-centre shares come from Worksheet A column 7 (after reclassifications and adjustments) over line 100.

Notes and limits
- Cost reports are self-reported by each hospice and most in this file are 'as submitted' (not audited by the Medicare contractor); figures can be amended later.
- The form collects patient days by level of care but no visit counts or staff FTEs, so staffing intensity is shown as cost shares, not visits per day.
- Fiscal years differ by hospice (shown per row). Hospices that are part of a hospital, SNF or home health agency file a different form and are not in the pool.
- If a peer does not fit (for example a change of ownership mid-year), say so and we re-run with it excluded: one free re-run within 14 days.
- Source: CMS HCRIS HOSPC14 public use files (downloads.cms.gov/Files/hcris/HOSPC14-ALL-YEARS.zip) and Care Compare hospice general information; both public domain.
- Your order details are deleted 30 days after delivery.
