what’s included in care?
The following services are covered under most hospice benefits:
Hospice Medical Director oversight and visits as needed
Nurse case manager visits
Nurse Practitioner visits
Certified nursing assistant visits
Social worker and chaplain visits
Comfort care medications
Medical supplies & equipment
Patients and families often have questions about who pays the bills for hospice services. Hospice is a Medicare Part A benefit; these services also are available under Medicaid and private insurance. Individuals also can choose to pay privately for hospice care.
The patient is rarely responsible for any hospice cost, except when paying privately. In the event there is a charge, our staff will make the patient and family aware of any expenses to be incurred.
We meet the complete needs of our patients by providing ancillary services such as physical, occupational and speech therapy. These are provided if approved by the primary care physician in consultation with the hospice medical director and interdisciplinary team. Contact Us to learn more.
