Previous OIG audits and evaluations found that Medicare inappropriately paid for hospice services that did not meet certain Medicare requirements.How OIG Did This AuditOur audit covered 6,142 claims for which Mission (located in San Mateo, California) received Medicare reimbursement of about $37 million for hospice services provided from October 1, 2015, through September 30, 2017. We reviewed a random sample of 100 claims. We evaluated compliance with selected Medicare billing requirements and submitted these sampled claims and the associated medical records to an independent medical review contractor to determine whether the services met coverage, medical necessity, and coding requirements.
