Increased hospice oversight aimed at curbing fraud in the industry could come with a mixed bag of financial and operational impacts for providers.
The U.S. Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) has honed in on hospice program integrity, rolling out a swath of new measures to reduce fraud, waste and abuse in the space. During the past two years, CMS has introduced new regulations, updated survey process, increased auditing activity and enhanced reviews of providers’ claims, patient eligibility and quality data.
Hospice regulation has taken a winding path in recent years, representing both a push and pull in terms of quality hospice care delivery, according to William Dombi, president of the National Association for Home Care & Hospice (NAHC).
