Protecting Seniors and Stopping Fraudsters Act

This bill strengthens oversight of Medicare hospice programs and home health agencies to prevent fraud and ensure quality care. It requires more frequent inspections for newly enrolled or recently changed agencies and mandates stricter screening for applicants in high-risk areas, including fingerprinting and proof of insurance. The legislation also adjusts financial penalties for failing to submit quality data and requires accreditation organizations to meet higher training and survey standards. Additionally, the bill improves patient communication by mandating clearer notices when individuals enroll in hospice care and establishes a five-year reporting requirement to track enforcement actions against these providers.
