The 6 highest FY2025 SSVI scores in Alaska, what they have in common, and how to keep your hospice off this list.
Status: proposed, not final. These scores come from the SSVI file CMS published with the FY2027 Hospice Wage Index proposed rule (CMS-1851-P, April 2026). CMS is explicit that the SSVI is not a finding of fraud, waste, or abuse — it flags claims patterns that may warrant additional oversight.
Alaska has 6 Medicare hospices with a FY2025 SSVI score (of 6 in the CMS file). The state median is 3 of 16, and 0% of the state's scored hospices land in the national worst decile (SSVI 11+). Names below are masked — the CCN is shown, and any score can be verified in the free SSVI lookup tool.

Alaska has fewer than 10 scored hospices, so all 6 are listed.
The pattern is not random: 3 of the 6 tripped no chc or gip days; 1 of the 6 tripped weekend skilled visits; 1 of the 6 tripped 7-day return rate. Every measure page linked above explains the CMS threshold and the operational changes that move it.
