# Questions and answers

Short answers about this directory.

## What is this site?

A list of hospice providers that CMS shows as Medicare-certified, by state and city.

## Does it rate or rank hospices?

No. There are no star ratings: the CMS data this directory comes from does not include one, and we do not make one up. Providers are listed alphabetically within each city.

## Is this medical advice? Do you recommend a hospice?

This is not medical advice and not a recommendation. We do not refer families to providers. For medical questions, please talk with your or your loved one's doctor.

## Where does the information come from?

The public CMS hospice directory. Our copy was pulled on August 16, 2026. Phone numbers and addresses can change, so please confirm with the provider.

## How do I choose?

Certification only tells you a provider is approved for Medicare. It is reasonable to ask each one about staff-to-patient ratios, after-hours coverage, and how the team communicates with family.

## Who can answer questions about Medicare coverage?

Medicare itself, at 1-800-MEDICARE, and the hospice you are speaking with.

## Is Grace a person?

No. Grace is an AI guide to how this directory works. She cannot give medical advice and does not recommend a hospice.

## Something about a provider is wrong, or I run a hospice and want a change.
