I found this information in the literature review:

“The Act expands the definition of “health care provider” from the original bill, to include a community mental health center, renal
dialysis facility, blood center, ambulatory surgical center, emergency medical services provider, and a therapist. The complete list
includes, in addition to these, a hospital, skilled nursing facility, home health entity or other long term care facility, health care clinic,
Federally qualified health center, group practice, a pharmacist, laboratory, physician, practitioner, provider operated by, or under
contract with, the Indian Health Service or by an Indian Tribe, tribal organization, a rural health clinic, among others.”

So, to answer your question, it does not sound as if hospice organizations themselves will qualify, however providers in hospice care will, depending on their use of an EMR. You can also check this link http://www.nhpco.org/i4a/pages/Index.cfm?pageID=5853 which has other good information on payment reform for hospice care.

Best wishes,
