And there's certainly been a lot of talk about this year as the year of crushing fraud and expanding authority.
It's almost like we need a weekly podcast instead of every two or three weeks just to stay on top of things.
And so we know CMS is being aggressive, but there are rays of hope out there and certainly winning strategies there.
So I like the title of this particular podcast, Andrew, the Ready Fire Aim, because that seems to have been a modus operandi for CMS, where you can call it casting a wide net, ready fire aim, where really taking a very broad-based approach to enforcement or crushing fraud that captures some innocent bystanders or collateral damage within.
And we've seen that with like all the hospice and home health payment suspensions out in California, you know, where- providers are being suspended based on an aggregate metric as opposed to any kind of particularized findings.
So this is sort of this proposed rule that we're going to be talking about is sort of in a similar vein.
