Another hospice provider in the Lone Star state is drawing scrutiny from the feds. On June 14, the FBI raided the Carrollton office of Plano-based Heart to Heart Hospice, reports CBS 11 News. “This is all part of a much broader investigation,” with offices in Plano, Fort Worth, and Houston also affected, according to the local news station.
The FBI agents were joined by HHS Office of Inspector General agents, bystanders reported. Neither the FBI, Department of Justice, OIG, nor the hospice would comment on the investigation, which a DOJ spokesperson said was under seal, according to CBS 11 News.
