Home Health Providers Emphasize Compliance Amid CMS and DOJ Fraud Enforcement
VNA Health Group and Empath Health are reinforcing quality documentation, oversight, and compliance protocols in response to intensified anti-fraud enforcement by CMS and the Department of Justice targeting the home health industry. The providers report focusing on communication strategies to clarify their existing compliance models as enforcement activity increases. The crackdown affects home health agencies providing services under Medicare and Medicaid, with providers emphasizing documentation integrity and proactive oversight to mitigate fraud and abuse risk.
Heightened federal enforcement in home health creates compliance and audit risk for Medicaid managed care plans contracting with home health agencies for long-term services and supports.
