Hospice News - Flagship Report; 4/30/25
The hospice industry has undergone profound changes, shifting from a nonprofit, volunteer-driven movement to a sector dominated by for-profits, private equity and publicly traded companies. This report highlights the impact of market consolidation, investment trends and industry transformation. One key takeaway: The 15 largest providers now account for nearly 33% of all Medicare hospice payments. Private equity’s role continues to expand, with six of the top 10 providers PE-owned. Additionally, “payviders” are reshaping care delivery, influencing reimbursement models and competition... Hospice News worked with the data firm Hospice Analytics to identify the nation’s largest hospice chains for calendar year 2023. The data analytics firm identified the CCN numbers associated with each corporate owner, rather than each brand, and aggregated their total Medicare payments to determine their rankings. [The five largest hospice chains include:]
- Gentiva
- Vitas
- UnitedHealth Group (including LHC Group)
- AccentCare
