About this hospice
Horizon Health Hospice is a non-profit hospice program based in Pierz, Minnesota, serving Morrison County and surrounding communities. It has been Medicare-certified since April 23, 2013, under CMS Certification Number (CCN) 241591.
CMS Care Compare, the federal government's public reporting tool for hospice quality, has not published CAHPS family caregiver survey results for Horizon Health Hospice — a star rating, percentage of caregivers who would definitely recommend the hospice, and percentage giving a top overall rating of 9 or 10 are all currently unavailable. This is often the result of too few surveyed families to report reliably, and it should not be read as a sign of poor quality.
CMS also has not published a composite process measure score for this hospice, so no comparison to Minnesota's state average composite score of 97.62 is possible at this time. A care index score of 6 appears in CMS data, though CMS has not paired it with a state comparison for this listing.
Horizon Health Hospice reports serving 10 ZIP codes from its Pierz office. As with all Medicare-certified hospices, the Medicare hospice benefit covers hospice care for eligible beneficiaries once a doctor certifies a terminal prognosis; no cost details beyond this are available here.
All figures above come from CMS Care Compare data. Families are encouraged to contact the hospice directly and to review the most current information on Care Compare before making decisions.
