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.
