Individual Profiles are available for all 50 States and each Profile provides detailed characteristics of each county in that state. Easy to read and understand, full-colored charts and graphs provide information developed from an analysis of the last nine years of Medicare claims data, including the most recently available 2009 data.

Each State Hospice Profile™ delivers critical information to any hospice executive interested in learning more about the competitive environment of their state. Developed exclusively for the NHPCO MarketPlace by companies with more than 50 years of combined hospice experience, each State Hospice Profile™ provides vital county-level information for strategic planning, feasibility studies or for anyone who wants to learn more about the development of hospice providers in each state. Each county profile contains:

• Comparative hospice penetration data;
• Summary overviews of the major hospice provider in the county;
• Analysis of location of hospice services;
• Average Length of Stay for hospice patients in each county;
• Analysis of Medicare enrollments, death rates and hospice patients;
• Market share analysis by major providers in each county;

• Influence of specific factors on hospice care growth;
• Analysis of Market Share Trends

As an added bonus, each State Hospice Profile™ also contains a National and Statewide Profile of hospice care based upon the last nine years of Medicare claims data, including the most recently available 2009 data. The National and State Profiles include such information as penetration rates, estimated Medicare Cap usage, distribution of hospice census by location of service and other important data.

State Hospice Profiles™ are individually priced based primarily upon the number of counties in each state. The Profiles are not inexpensive, but they are value-priced and reflective of the cost of producing each Profile, and the value of the information that is delivered in each Profile.
