They Found 89 Hospices Inside One Building 😳
The speaker investigated hospice fraud in California, particularly LA County, discovering that one-third of America's hospices are concentrated there with some buildings housing 10-89 hospices each. The investigation was prompted by previous work on Minnesota healthcare fraud and supported by findings from Dr. Oz showing a 1000% increase in suspicious activity.
Summary
The speaker describes investigating what they believe is massive hospice fraud in California, specifically in LA County, comparing it to previous work they did exposing fraud in Minnesota. They explain that one-third of all hospices in America are located in LA County, and one in every ten dollars spent on home health care goes to that county. The investigation was sparked after their Minnesota video prompted nationwide scrutiny of healthcare fraud. Initially hesitant to investigate California due to concerns about potential legal retaliation from Governor Gavin Newsom, the speaker was encouraged when Dr. Oz, as head of CMS (Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services), revealed a 1000% increase in suspicious hospice activity in California. The speaker claims that Armenian and Russian organized crime groups are operating these hospices. Through data analysis and field investigation, they discovered multiple plaza buildings in Van Nuys, California, that house between 10 to 89 hospices in single buildings, suggesting these are fraudulent operations rather than legitimate healthcare facilities.
