Recent reports of hospice fraud across the country have created concern among healthcare professionals, patients and families. While these cases are serious and deserve attention, it is important to recognize that fraudulent activity represents a small portion of the hospice industry. The vast majority of hospice providers remain committed to delivering ethical, compassionate and patient-centered end-of-life care.
