A: In California, to verify which doctors are associated with a hospice license, you can begin by contacting the California Department of Public Health (CDPH). This agency oversees licensing and compliance for health facilities, including hospices. They maintain records of all licensed hospices and the healthcare professionals linked to them.

You can also look into the California Medical Board's website. This platform allows you to search for medical professionals and view their affiliations and any disciplinary actions. By entering the name of the doctor in question, you can find detailed information about their practice and possible connections to any hospice services.

If you suspect hospice fraud or have concerns about the validity of the doctors listed, consider reaching out to the California Hospice and Palliative Care Association. They can offer guidance and resources on how to proceed with your inquiries or report potential fraud. Additionally, consulting with a legal professional experienced in healthcare law might provide you with strategic advice tailored to your specific circumstances.
