Trump Administration Expands Home Care Through 2030, Launches Fraud Probes in 100-Hospice Hotspot

Summary
Medicare’s Acute Hospital Care at Home program was extended through 2030 as the Trump administration broadened home-based care for seniors and paired it with major healthcare fraud investigations.
The push reflects rising abuse in home health, hospice and personal care programs, where investigators found more than 100 hospices operating from a single Los Angeles County office building.
J.D. Vance now chairs a government-wide anti-fraud task force as enforcement expands in known hotspots and providers suspected of abusing federal healthcare programs face tighter scrutiny.
A six-month hospice enrollment moratorium is intended to tighten provider screening, ownership verification and oversight so home-based care can keep growing without eroding taxpayer trust.
