Hospice firm accused of milking Medicare program funds
A whistle blower lawsuit and federal action accuse AseraCare, based in Fort Smith Arkansas and operating in 19 states, of cycling patients through nursing homes and hospices to maximize Medicare reimbursements. The suit alleges pressuring staff to admit non dying patients and delaying discharges, with one patient reportedly mobile enough to attend a granddaughter’s graduation and a berry picking trip. AseraCare disputes the charges claiming compliance with Medicare rules.
