Nevada Halts New Hospice Providers | Las Vegas News

Nevada has halted new hospice and home healthcare providers for six months to combat rampant fraud, as Medicaid spending on hospice care surged 160% in five years and licensed providers in Southern Nevada tripled since 2020. With investigations uncovering $50M in potential fraud and providers fleeing crackdowns in other states, the move—aligned with a federal moratorium—is seen as necessary to stop “bad actors” exploiting vulnerable patients. While critics call it politically motivated, officials stress it targets new applicants only, preserving care for existing, legitimate providers and exploring exemptions for underserved communities.
