Dr. Oz addresses hospice fraud and calls for accountability

Dr. Mehmet Oz announced plans to decertify hospice providers accused of fraud, including identity theft and overbilling, during an exclusive interview with CBS News. He highlighted a CBS investigation revealing that over 700 hospices in Los Angeles County raised red flags for fraud, contributing to an estimated $198.1 million in suspected hospice fraud nationwide. California officials, rebutting Oz’s claims, emphasized their commitment to tackling hospice fraud through a multi-agency task force that has already revoked around 280 hospice licenses.
