As a result of hospice integrity mandates, CMS is launching the Special Focus Program to monitor agencies identified as poor performers based on the selected quality indicators. Hospices that are chosen will be under additional oversight, including every-six-months surveys, to enable continuous improvement. Enforcement remedies for noncompliant hospices could include termination from the Medicare program.
