The Hospice SFP Can Be Fixed. Will You Help?
The Hospice Special Focus Program (SFP) will publicly rank hospice providers’ performance using flawed methods. This threatens to misinform patients and families when they are making critical end-of-life care decisions. This will only benefit bad actors who will go undetected. But there is a solution. The bipartisan Enhancing Hospice Oversight and Transparency Act (H.R. 10097) will delay the SFP and allow CMS time to fix the program to ensure accurate rankings. With less than four weeks for this bill to pass, your voice is critical. Will you help us protect patients, families, and providers? Act Now: The Hospice SFP must be fixed.
