USDC Western District of Missouri, Case No. 4:13-cv-00449-BCW
The federal Department of Justice intervened and ultimately settled this case brought by several whistleblowers against Vitas, the largest hospice company in the United States. The case alleged that Vitas routinely placed and kept patients on hospice who did not have a terminal illness. As a result, Vitas billed Medicare tens of millions in taxpayer dollars for services that were not appropriate.
