Which hospices in Tulsa score highest with Medicare?

The table lists every hospice, highest index score first. A linked name opens the full record: each index indicator against the state and national averages, the family survey answers, where care is delivered and the ZIP codes served.

What does the Hospice Care Index measure, and what does it not?

The Hospice Care Index is a score out of 10 that counts how many of ten Medicare claims-based indicators a hospice meets. It measures patterns of visits and discharges. It does not measure bedside manner, and it is not a patient satisfaction score.

Does Medicare pay for hospice care in Oklahoma?

Yes. Medicare covers hospice for people a doctor certifies as terminally ill with a life expectancy of six months or less who choose comfort care. It covers the nurse, aide, social worker and chaplain visits, medications for the terminal illness, and equipment, with at most a small copay for prescriptions and respite stays. It does not cover room and board in assisted living or a nursing home.

Why do so many Tulsa hospices have no published scores?

2 of the 33 hospices here have no index score. Medicare only publishes results once a hospice has enough claims in the two-year window, and Tulsa and Tulsa, Wagoner, Rogers, Creek, Osage and Okmulgee counties has many recently certified, small hospices. A missing score tells you a hospice is new or small. It does not tell you whether it is good.
