Competition
The current hospice business market in California is experiencing heightened scrutiny and regulatory changes. In recent years, the California Department of Public Health (CDPH) and the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) have implemented stricter guidelines and oversight to address concerns related to fraud and abuse within the hospice industry. This has included moratoriums on new hospice licenses and increased emphasis on compliance with the 36-month rule, Change of Ownership (CHOW) processes, and geographic service area.
