On May 13, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS)
announced a six-month national moratorium on hospice and home
health enrollment in response to program integrity concerns within the Medicare programs.
The moratorium affects new Medicare provider enrollments. It only impacts providers already certified by Medicare if the existing provider is making certain ownership changes or adding new branch or practice locations.
Shanti Hospice strongly supports efforts to root out fraud, waste,
and abuse in Medicare and is dedicated to continuing to provide high quality services and support to our community.
This announcement does not change anything about the care that
you or your loved one is already receiving from us.
If you or a loved one is in need of hospice services, Shanti Hospice is accepting patients and continuing to provide our high quality services as usual.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us
