Good morning,
We wanted to let everyone know that the NORC "Value of Hospice" study that NAHC and NHPCO commissioned was publicly released this morning. We have a landing page for all relevant materials related to the study here: https://www.nahc.org/hospiceworks/. On this page, you'll find:
We are very excited about this release and the study's findings, including that hospice use is associated with $3.5 billion in annual savings to Medicare (study used 2019 data), and that savings are driven by many different lengths of stay and across many different diagnoses.
We encourage you to share the study and collateral material, and use your communications and social media channels to amplify its release (There has already been some trade press coverage of the report – see here: Hospice News; McKnight's Home Care; HomeCare Magazine)
Please let us know if you have any questions. And thank you for all you do.
