Momentum grows nationally to protect patients and preserve high-quality hospice care – The National Partnership for Healthcare and Hospice Innovation (NPHI), the national voice for nonprofit hospice and palliative care providers, applauds California Attorney General Rob Bonta for launching a comprehensive statewide campaign to combat hospice fraud. This campaign includes public service announcements, community outreach events, and a new reporting hotline designed to educate consumers about hospice fraud. It comes amid a broader national effort by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) to strengthen hospice program integrity and crack down on fraudulent providers across the country, with heightened focus on fraud-prone states such as California, Nevada, Arizona, and Texas.
