"But like anything, hospice is subject to fraud, mismanagement and abuse. One government report estimated that hospice’s inappropriate billing costs Medicare hundreds of millions per year...The government has some red lines at its disposal, 'but one of the key issues is, outside of major fraud cases, there are shockingly few consequences for bad behavior,” Oliver summarized. “And the barriers to operating a hospice can be much lower than you think.' A medical background isn’t required, for one, and Medicare only requires that hospices be inspected once every three years."
