OIG Reports

The HHS Office of Inspector General (OIG) has issued a report profiling Medicare patients receiving Medicare hospice care in the nursing home setting. Among other things, the OIG points out that beneficiaries in nursing facilities typically spend more time in hospice care and are associated with higher Medicare reimbursements for hospice care than beneficiaries in other settings. The OIG also released a report comparing prescription drug ASPs and average manufacturer prices for the second quarter of 2007.
