Vance-Led Anti-Fraud Task Force, CMS Suspend 70 Hospice, Home Health Providers Flagged as High-Risk Fraudulent in L.A.

The Vice President JD Vance-led Task Force to Eliminate Fraud and the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) have identified and suspended 70 hospice and home health businesses in Los Angeles that were flagged as high-risk fraudulent providers, Breitbart News has learned.

A source familiar with the matter told Breitbart News of the suspensions on Wednesday.

“As the task force to root out waste, fraud and abuse ramps up its work, we expect this number to grow exponentially,” a source told Breitbart News. 

The task force, which President Donald Trump established earlier this month, seeks to build on the work of addressing Minnesota fraud that Vance and CMS Administrator Dr Mehmet Oz announced last month, a source familiar said. 

On February 25, Vance announced that the administration was halting “certain amounts of Medicaid funding” to Minnesota until the state government learns “to be good stewards” of taxpayer dollars. Oz
