Costs & Insurance Coverage
Medicare,
Medicaid, and virtually all managed care or fee-for-service plans cover
hospice services 100%. The expense of healthcare at the end of life can
potentially be a burden, but hospice care can greatly reduce that
financial burden.
The Medicare Hospice Benefit is good news! Medicare offers a hospice
election that is separate from its other reimbursement structures. All
services, medications, treatments, respite care, supplies and equipment
that are part of a hospice plan of care are fully covered.
