What organization issues a hospice license?
A:
To find out which doctors are actually associated with a hospice license, especially in cases related to potential fraud, you can start by consulting the California Department of Public Health (CDPH). This department oversees the licensing of hospice care providers in the state. The hospice provider must file documentation that includes the names of the associated medical professionals, which can be accessed through a public records request with the CDPH.
You can request these records by contacting the CDPH directly, either through their website or by phone. They can provide information on how to formally request the necessary documentation under the California Public Records Act. It's important to specify what information you need and your reasons for the request to ensure a swift and accurate response.
Additionally, the licensing and regulatory compliance of hospice services, including affiliations with medical doctors, is also monitored by the Licensing and Certification Program of the CDPH. For detailed queries or investigations, this program can be a valuable resource in determining compliance with state regulations and identifying any discrepancies in the licensure records. Always keep your requests specific to enhance the efficiency of your search and the clarity of the information provided.
