Dr. Oz Announces Moratorium on New Hospice and Home Healthcare Licenses Due to the Massive Scale of Fraud

EXCERPT:

OZ: “Next is a nationwide moratorium on all new hospice and home health care. Why is that possible? Because when we squeeze the balloon in California and slow their growth of hospice, and now take away 800, the payments to 800 hospices, we know what those fraudsters do. They move to nearby Nevada. Next door, Nevada has a sevenfold increase in hospice already. Arizona, Texas, they’re moving across the country. So we’re today announcing a moratorium nationally, there will be no new hospices or home health care opened in this country. If you have the program now, you can keep it. You can go to ones that already exist. We’re not taking away any services, but there will be no new ones, licenses granted until we can figure out a better way of working across government.”
