Fraudulent hospice providers may be moving between states 
Hospice News; by Jim Parker; 5/7/24
Fraudulent hospices continue to proliferate, and some may be moving between states to escape regulators. Beginning in 2021, numerous reports emerged of unethical or illegal practices among hundreds of newly licensed hospices, particularly among new companies popping up in California, Texas, Nevada and Arizona. Thus far, California is the only state to take action on the issue, including a moratorium on hospice licensing. The U.S. Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services has also taken steps to bolster program integrity.
