- description: <p>The Hospice Utilization and Payment Public Use File provides information on services provided to Medicare
beneficiaries by hospice providers. The Hospice PUF contains information on utilization, payment (Medicare payment and standard
payment), submitted charges, primary diagnoses, sites of service, and hospice beneficiary demographics organized by CMS Certification
Number 6-digit provider identification number, and state. This PUF is based on information from CMSs Chronic Conditions Data
Warehouse (CCW) data files. The data in the Hospice PUF covers calendar year 2014 and contains 100 percent final-action i.e.,
all claim adjustments have been resolved, hospice claims for the Medicare population including beneficiaries enrolled in a
Medicare Advantage plan.<br /> Although the Hospice PUF has a wealth of payment and utilization information about hospice
services, the data set also has a number of limitations. The information presented in this file does not indicate the quality
of care provided by individual hospice providers. The file only contains cost and utilization information. Additionally, the
data are not risk adjusted and thus do not account for differences in patient populations. For additional limitations, please
review the methodology document available below.</p>; abstract: <p>The Hospice Utilization and Payment Public
