Protecting Medicare means protecting the people who count on it. CMS is proposing stronger safeguards for Medicare home health services—cracking down on fraud, waste, and abuse, protecting taxpayer dollars, and keeping bad actors out of the program. We're also expanding access to community-based palliative care, bringing more high-quality care to beneficiaries where they feel most comfortable—at home. Learn more: cms.gov/newsroom/press-relea…
