THREE STRIKE FORCES TARGET FRAUD IN HOME HEALTH CARE DMES AND ADULT DAY CARE COMPANIES

Three strike forces have been conducting fraud investigations in the Home Health field, adult daycares, and DME companies. (DME-durable medical equipment)

One Home health outfit laid off 20 nurses. Another one laid off 200.

One Rio Grande Valley home healtcare firm closed down 9 offices.

NEW guidelines should thin out many in the herd of the three industries.

A lot of nurses will be out of jobs.

The big companies will survive. The small ones will close if they cannot show profit.

Let us hope that the elderly will not suffer because of a few bad apples.
