location of (2) hospice programs with compliance concerns?

Does anyone know the cities and states of the 2 hospice centers that may have compliance issues? As indicated below in their 10Q, Amedisys has reported...

In October 2012, we made a disclosure to the Office of Counsel to the Inspector General of the United States Department of Health and Human Services (the “OIG”) pursuant to the OIG Provider Self-Disclosure Protocol regarding certain clinical documentation issues and eligibility requirements at two hospice care centers. These hospice care centers appear to have not complied in some respects with certain state and Federal regulations relating to clinical documentation and eligibility requirements, including those requiring physicians to certify patient eligibility and requiring patient face-to-face encounters. We are also in discussions with state healthcare authorities regarding this matter. Our review of this matter is ongoing, and we intend to cooperate with the OIG and any other regulatory authorities in their review of this matter.

 

Three words: ask Tiffany jones. They were her care centers.

 

...now that is interesting.

Her unprofessional, condescending, abrasive style has always been accepted by her management because she supposedly pays great attention to operational detail.

Is she still in the same role?

 

Ddi you see this...?

Former employee accuses Amedisys of age discrimination

MORGANTOWN – A former employee claims Amedisys Holding, LLC, terminated her employment because of her age.

Tiffany Jones, individually and in her capacity as area vice president for Amedisys Holding, LLC, was also named as a defendant in the suit.

Pamela McCauley was employed by Amedisys as a clinical manager from January 2009 until Sept. 24, according to a complaint filed in Monongalia Circuit Court.

McCauley claims on Sept. 24, Jones terminated her employment and retained another younger individual to do the work she had previously done and at a rate of pay substantially lower than what she had been paid.

The termination of McCauley’s employment was based upon her age, which is in violation of the West Virginia Human Rights Act, according to the suit.

McCauley claims her age was a determining, motivating and substantial factor in the defendants’ decision to terminate her employment in order to employ a younger person at a lower pay to do her job.

The defendants’ conduct was willful, deliberate, intentional and/or undertaken in disregard for the rights and sensibilities of McCauley, according to the suit.

McCauley is seeking compensatory and punitive damages. She is being represented by J. Bryan Edwards.

Monongalia Circuit Court case number: 12-C-823

 

I certainly hope that Tiffany Jones is brought to the table this time. She is a snake. I have had the unpleasant opportunity to work with this woman and she LIED to me numerous times. Then when I called her on the lies (with proof) she stared at me and said. "That never happened. All of you are mistaken." The odd thing was I think she believed herself!

 

If I wasn't also a victim of her "vision of the truth," I would feel sorry for her.

 

Hmmm.. Amed Hospice in NJ has been reported to OIG and Medicare.
