2026 Forvis Mazars Medicare Cost Report Data for Home Health Agencies - The Council of State Home Care & Hospice Associations

The data from these reports was compiled using Medicare cost report data for home health agencies designated as freestanding with fiscal years ended in 2024.

The specific data represents days sales outstanding (DSO) for home health agencies and represents all payers, and the percent of Medicare patients. DSO is a measure of the number of days of revenue that is tied up in receivables and is a way to measure the typical amount of time it takes to be paid by payers. The percent of Medicare patients can provide insights into DSO, as collecting from Medicare Advantage and other payers typically takes more time than collecting from Medicare.

Each state is encouraged to share these reports with their members in whatever way they choose whether via email, downloads available from their respective websites, or whatever is the easiest way to share with members.

If any of the states want to include the reports in a paper-based or electronic-based newsletter, then they are encouraged to do so.

If you get questions from any of the execs about the data, please don’t hesitate to direct them to me: MAaron.Little@us.forvismazars.com
