CMS pauses hospice, home health Medicare enrollments in fraud crackdown

fiercehealthcare - The Trump administration has issued a six-month moratorium on hospice and home health agencies enrolling in Medicare as part of its efforts to combat fraud.

AI Summary: CMS has suspended new Medicare enrollments for hospice and home health providers nationwide amid a fraud crackdown, pausing approvals while investigators audit suspicious applications and billing patterns. The freeze seeks to protect patients and taxpayer dollars, though it may delay access where new providers were expected to step in — because apparently some providers preferred creative billing over care.
