LVF - BONUS Episode - Is Your Hospice A Target? The 2027 CMS "Report Card" Explained
Last Visit First
On April 2, 2026, CMS released the FY 2027 Hospice Proposed Rule, and the message is clear: the days of flying under the radar are over. While many are focusing on the 2.4% payment increase, Tom Maxwell reveals why that "raise" is actually just a break even point against inflation.. More importantly, he explains why the new SSVI (Service and Spending Variation Index) is the real story you need to be watching.
In this episode, we connect the dots between the new 16 point "report card" and "Operation Never Say Die", which was the FBI’s massive fraud takedown that landed the same week as this rule. If your hospice scores high on the SSVI, you aren't just getting a grade; you’re getting a target on your back for audits and revocations.
