Description

For-profit providers in the hospice industry have been accused of 'gaming` the system by enrolling patients who should not qualify. However, even some fraud may save Medicare spending if hospices are substantially less costly than alternative care. Jetson Leder-Luis evaluates this trade-off and finds that hospices save money for Medicare by offsetting other expensive care.
