Today is the 39 Month Anniversary of the Murder and ILLEGAL DNR of My Husband Bill Knightly by St. Joseph's Hospital in Nashua, NH



Today makes 39 months since the death of my beloved Husband thank's to the Medical staff of St. Joseph Hospital in Nashua. Had they treated him for the illnesses he had, which we were never told about, he would be here today. All he asked for was treatment, but all he got was death, by the most un-compassionate, money hungry, UN-ethical Medical UN-professionals I have ever met. Un-trustworthy pieces of shit, who care about money more than they care about people. Their day will come. I only hope to see them suffer the way they made my poor Husband suffer, along with I and My family. Praying they will be denied medical treatment and written off by their own colleagues. Overdosed and Murdered, just like they did to My Husband and so many other's and continue doing thank's to State officials with no balls. Afraid to go after the Murderers of our Loved ones. Big payoffs I'm sure. Even the NH Medical Board admitted My Husband was DNR'd ILLEGALLY. You'd think they would have held the Murderers accountable. Not in New Hampshire. Like they say, Doctor's side with their own, just as Nurses side with their own and the list goes on and on. It's known as the Good Ole Boy's network. They all watch out for each other. It would be nice if someone watched out for the rest of us, but I don't ever see that happening. We are just peon's where our lives mean nothing to any of them. The almighty dollar is all any of them care about and Medicare Fraud runs rampant without repercussions.
Our tax money paying for the Murder of our Loved ones. What a sick, sick world.
My Husband will NEVER be forgotten and you bastard's will NEVER hear the end of me! I hope your lives suck and you get everything rotten you deserve, threefold!

I Love you My Knight and always will! Extremely Pissed Off Wife of Bill Knightly, Murdered by NON-consensual Hospice/Palliative care at St. Joseph Hospital in Nashua, NH

HHS Inspector General's Report Finds Flaws And Fraud In U.S. Hospice Care

HHS Inspector General's Report Finds Flaws And Fraud In U.S. Hospice Care

We all hope for a little peace at the end of life, for ourselves and for our loved ones. Hospice services can play a big role, relieving pain and providing spiritual and emotional support. But a federal report published Tuesday synthesized patient and Medicare payment data going back to 2005 and found that, while patients generally can count on hospice to relieve their suffering, some hospice providers are bilking Medicare and neglecting patients.
The report calls for the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, which is a key player in the funding of hospice services, to increase its level of scrutiny to improve the detection of these problems.

SMP National Resource Center 10 Examples of Hospice Fraud




SMP National Resource Center 10 Examples of Hospice Fraud

Hospice is an important benefit for the Medicare population. Hospice fraud threatens this benefit for all beneficiaries. Scammers are getting beneficiaries to agree to hospice care even though they do not qualify for the benefit.

What is Medicare Hospice Fraud?

Hospice fraud occurs when Medicare Part A is falsely billed for any level of hospice care or service.

What are Examples of Hospice Fraud?

  • Falsely certifying and providing services to beneficiaries who are not terminally ill — that is, with a life expectancy of six months or less if the disease runs its normal course
  • Enrolling in hospice without the knowledge or permission of the patient or family
  • Falsely certifying or failing to obtain physician certification on plans of care
  • Paying gifts or incentives to referral sources (such as physicians and nursing homes)
  • Billing for a higher level of care than was needed or provided or for services not received
  • Targeting assisted living facility and/or nursing home residents whose life expectancy exceeds six months
  • Using high-pressure and unsolicited marketing tactics of hospice services
  • Providing inadequate or incomplete services, including, for example, no skilled visits in the last week of life
  • Providing/offering gifts or incentives, including noncovered benefits such as homemaker, housekeeping, or delivery services to encourage beneficiaries to elect hospice even though they may not be terminally ill
  • Embezzling, abusing, or neglecting beneficiaries or medication theft by a hospice worker
  • Keeping a beneficiary on hospice care for long periods of time without medical justification
  • Providing less care on the weekends and disregarding a beneficiary’s care plan

Medicare’s most indefensible fraud hotspot: Hospice care

Medicare’s most indefensible fraud hotspot: Hospice care

  • The number of hospices in the US increased by 43 percent between 2006 and 2016, but with the boom in end-of-life services, Medicare fraud also has risen.
  • Medicare fraud and inaccurate billing costs the federal government health care program as much as $60 billion annually.
  • The amount of Medicare beneficiaries receiving hospice care increased by about 53 percent between 2006 and 2016, with 1.4 million Medicare beneficiaries receiving hospice care in 2016. Spending increased by 81 percent to a level of $16.7 billion in 2016, according to a new report from the Inspector General at the Department of Health and Human Services.

Fraud, waste, and abuse in the Medicare hospice program is ‘repellent’

Fraud, waste, and abuse in the Medicare hospice program is ‘repellent’

The Department of Health and Human Services’ Office of Inspector General, for which I work, recently published a report examining hospice practices over a decade. It showed that hospices do not always provide the services that patients need and sometimes provide poor-quality care. We also found that patients and their families often do not receive crucial information to make informed decisions about hospice care.
