Part of the [CMS Data Feeds Dataset](/data-catalog/cms-data-feeds-dataset/cms-data-feeds-catalog.md) › Hospice care Dataplex delivers this CMS feed as the analysis-ready table `DWV.HOSPICE_ZIP_DATA` on Snowflake and Databricks: two snapshot releases spanning 2026–2026, aligned to a single schema, refreshed automatically whenever CMS publishes a new file. Every row carries lineage back to the exact CMS source file that produced it. ## Key facts | | | | ------------------ | --------------------------------------------------- | | **Snowflake** | `DWV.HOSPICE_ZIP_DATA` | | **Databricks** | `cms_dwv.hospice_zip_data` | | **Cadence** | Monthly | | **Update pattern** | Full-refresh; each file replaces the prior snapshot | | **CMS published** | 2026-08-01 | | **Loaded** | 2026-09-28 | | **Columns** | 4 data + 6 lineage | | **Identifiers** | CCN · ZIP codes | | **File versions** | 2 | | **License** | CMS public data (U.S. Government work) | | **Platforms** | Snowflake Marketplace · Databricks Delta Sharing | Included in the CMS Data Feeds Dataset, [start a free trial on Snowflake Marketplace](https://app.snowflake.com/marketplace/listing/GZT1Z125KDH/dataplex-consulting-data-products-cms-data-feeds-dataset). {% hint style="info" %} **Last CMS publication 2026-08-01**: awaiting the next release.

## Row-level lineage Every row in this table traces to the exact CMS source file that produced it. The `FILE_ID` column joins to the `FEEDS_FILES` catalog table, and `FILE_FEED_ID` joins to the `FEEDS` master table: ```mermaid erDiagram FEEDS ||--o{ FEEDS_FILES : "ID = FEED_ID" FEEDS ||--o{ HOSPICE_ZIP_DATA : "ID = FILE_FEED_ID" FEEDS_FILES ||--o{ HOSPICE_ZIP_DATA : "ID = FILE_ID" FEEDS { text ID PK text TITLE text VIEW_NAME text ACCURAL_PERIODICITY } FEEDS_FILES { text ID PK text FEED_ID FK date TEMPORAL_START date TEMPORAL_END date CMS_FEED_MODIFIED number IS_LATEST } HOSPICE_ZIP_DATA { text ROW_ID PK text FILE_ID FK text FILE_FEED_ID FK text DATA_PERIOD text STATE text CMS_CERTIFICATION_NUMBER_CCN text ZIP_CODE } ``` Trace any row back to its source file and reporting period: {% tabs %} {% tab title="Snowflake" %} ```sql SELECT d.DATA_PERIOD, d.STATE, d.CMS_CERTIFICATION_NUMBER_CCN, ff.TEMPORAL_START, ff.TEMPORAL_END, ff.CMS_FEED_MODIFIED FROM DWV.HOSPICE_ZIP_DATA d JOIN DWV.FEEDS_FILES ff ON d.FILE_ID = ff.ID; ``` {% endtab %} {% tab title="Databricks" %} ```sql SELECT d.data_period, d.state, d.cms_certification_number_ccn, ff.temporal_start, ff.temporal_end, ff.cms_feed_modified FROM cms_dwv.hospice_zip_data d JOIN cms_dwv.feeds_files ff ON d.file_id = ff.id; ``` {% endtab %} {% endtabs %} ## Source & provenance Published by the **Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services** (bureau 009:38). * [Official CMS documentation](https://data.cms.gov/provider-data/topics/hospice-care) * [95rg 2usp](https://data.cms.gov/provider-data/dataset/95rg-2usp) ## Frequently asked questions ### How often is Hospice - Zip Data updated?

GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com. ## Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question. Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters: ``` GET https://docs.dataplex-consulting.com/data-catalog/cms-data-feeds-dataset/cms-data-feeds-catalog/hospice-zip-data.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
