Never Say Die Operation Uncovers Massive Hospice Fraud Ring in Southern California
Federal agents have dismantled a $50 million hospice fraud ring in Southern California, arresting several individuals linked to fake facilities that billed Medicare for patients who werent terminally ill. The operation, named Never Say Die, targeted sham operations like the one set up by Gladwin and Amelou Gill, who allegedly pocketed over $7 million by forging medical records and enrolling healthy individuals in end-of-life care.
The scandal has sparked outrage, with Vice President JD Vance and Dr. Mehmet Oz labeling Californias system as rotten to the core. U.S. Attorney Bill Essayli described the fraud as pervasive, from top to bottom. Governor Gavin Newsoms team has also taken action, suspending over 280 licenses and urging federal authorities to follow through.
An anti-fraud task force has revoked licenses from 221 hospices in Los Angeles, and former prosecutors predict a surge in indictments as the Justice Department intensifies its efforts. This crackdown signals a significant step forward in combating healthcare fraud and safeguarding taxpayer funds.
