House Oversight Committee launches probe into ‘rampant’ hospice fraud in California

California is being investigated by a powerful congressional committee after the Post exposed rampant hospice fraud that’s cost taxpayers more than $100 million. The House Oversight Committee sent shockwaves across the Golden State on Monday after launching a probe into the 'rampant' fraud involving shell hospice agencies that have proliferated in recent years. The investigation seeks to uncover how these entities were able to bill Medicare for services never provided and why state regulators failed to intervene.
