Understanding Hospice Care

How is Care Paid For?

Most of our patients transition to the enhanced Medicare hospice benefit, which pays 100% of all charges related to the hospice diagnosis.

This benefit is part of Medicare Part A.  It covers our professional medical services, and all expenses such as medications and durable medical equipment like wheelchairs, hospital beds, bedside commodes, and walkers as needed.

Most private insurance or prepaid health plans follow Medicare's lead.  Our Financial Case Managers work with you and your insurer should a waiver be required.

Thanks to generous community contributions, we provide services to people who need hospice care and qualify for financial assistance through our Patient Care Fund.
