The plumber comes in and says, hey, you know, I hear you're in the hospice space.
The guy says, yeah, I made my money in hospice.
Then the plumber says, you know, I've got a side house, so I own a hospice too.
Right?
Then the carpenter hears them and he says, me too.
Yeah.
I'm in the hospice business.
We're all in the hospice business.
Absolutely.
So then the guy says, okay, well, he realized he's got to get ahead of these guys.
So he goes to a major hospital in LA and a doctor at the hospital, very prominent hospital that everyone's heard of, says, hey, listen, if you gave me $1,000 a month, I'll send hospice patients to you, which is how it's done in LA, by the way.
You get paid, you send patients over.
So the guy says, okay, what about the actual inpatients?
Like the people hospitalized, can I get them?
And the doctor says, I can't do that.
Because it turns out there are some members of the board that own hospice, and they like the patients to go to their centers.
You see that the corruption starts in organized crime, but if you tolerate it, it poisons the whole system.
And that's the bigger reason we've got a problem.
So what are we doing?
We have a fraud war room.
