-
Medicare and Medicaid
Hospice is paid for through the Medicare Hospice Benefit, Medicaid Hospice Benefit and most private insurers, with Medicare being the primary payer for nearly two-thirds of patients. If a terminally ill individual is a Medicare beneficiary, hospice is a covered benefit under Part A. All other Medicare services continue under Parts A & B, including those of the person’s attending physician. Hospice payments do not interfere with any other Medicare payments for other illnesses, diseases or care.
If a person does not have coverage through Medicare, Medicaid or a private insurance company, hospice will work with the person and their family to ensure needed services can be provided.

Availability and Admissions
We are always available to assist patients and begin treatment as needed, with no restrictions or limitations. If you are ready to begin the admission process, please have your doctor send us a physician’s referral, or contact us so that we can make sure your physician agrees hospice is an appropriate option for the patient.
