Who pays for hospice care?

Hospice care is an insurance benefit covered by Medicare, Medicaid and most private insurances. Medical equipment and medications related to the patient’s diagnosis are covered by Hospice.

Our staff bills insurance companies directly making one less thing for patients and families to worry about. The generous support of community members helps bridge the gap between care provided and what is reimbursed by insurance. Patients, families and community members are never refused services due to lack of insurance or inability to pay.
