Announced on  | Last Modified on  | Project Number: OAS-25-09-034
Status
Active
Agency
Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services

OBJECTIVE

Federal requirements state that hospices must be certified by CMS and be licensed as required by State and local law. Medicare also requires that hospices meet its Conditions of Participation to receive payment. Our objective is to identify trends, patterns, and key comparisons that indicate potential vulnerabilities related to new Medicare hospice provider enrollments. The data brief may help CMS evaluate the need for additional monitoring and program integrity efforts to ensure that hospices meet all the requirements.
