Beyond The Moratorium: Preparing for the Future of Home Health and Hospice Oversight

Home health and hospice providers face unprecedented scrutiny as federal oversight and fraud-prevention efforts intensify. This on-demand webinar connects the history of OIG compliance expectations with today’s most pressing findings — from eligibility and medical necessity to documentation, billing, referrals, and quality of care.

It also examines CMS’s current six-month nationwide Medicare enrollment moratorium, effective May 13, 2026, which applies to new home health and hospice enrollments and certain changes in majority ownership. Participants will explore what this significant program-integrity action signals for the future and how stronger governance, monitoring, and corrective actions can shift compliance from a reactive obligation to a proactive strategy for protecting patients and safeguarding federal healthcare resources.

Learning outcomes:

• Describe the evolution of OIG and CMS oversight, including the current enrollment moratorium.
• Analyze key OIG findings and recurring compliance risks.
• Assess how enforcement priorities affect home health and hospice organizations.
• Identify proactive strategies to prevent fraud, waste, and abuse.
