The scams primarily targeted hospice centers in Glendale, Artesia, Tarzana, and Simi Valley, where patients who werent terminally ill were billed for services. Additional arrests occurred in Idaho and Los Angeles for defrauding a West Coast labor unions health plans and faking immigration medical documents. The Trump administration and Governor Gavin Newsoms team have differing views on the issue, with the former labeling California a hotbed for fraud and the latter highlighting the states efforts to revoke and investigate hospice licenses. Federal officials are forming a new task force and reviewing every hospice in California, with Doctor Mehmet Oz reporting the closure of 221 suspect operations and the implementation of a new scoring system to identify suspicious providers. More charges and court actions are expected as the anti-fraud push continues to gain momentum.
