Regulatory Alert from NHPCO: Two New Reports Released by OIG   On July 9, 2019, the Health and Human Services Office of Inspector General (OIG) released two reports on hospice care, one focused on deficiencies identified in hospice surveys and one focused on a sample of serious harm to hospice beneficiaries and identified vulnerabilities.
