Hospice CEO asks Congress how a provider can operate 'out of a burrito stand in California' with no oversight

A California hospice CEO testified before Congress, alleging widespread fraud in the hospice industry, with some providers operating without patients or staff. Sheila Clark of CHAPCA criticized regulatory failures, while Dr. Lynn Ianni shared her experience of being falsely enrolled in hospice care. The Trump administration has suspended 447 LA-area hospices over $600M in suspected fraud, as California Gov. Newsom denied state responsibility for Medicare billing issues.
