House Ways and Means Committee opened a probe into California hospice fraud after a hospice CEO described sham providers operating out of a burrito stand. The hearing took place Tuesday on Capitol Hill and was led by Republican Chairman Jason Smith, who vowed fraudsters' "time operating in the dark is way over." Committee members framed their inquiry explicitly as a response to theft of tax dollars and Medicare benefits, calling for reforms and enforcement.
