Who Qualifies for Hospice Care?
Hospice care may be appropriate for anyone who has been diagnosed by a physician as having a life expectancy of six months or less if the illness runs its normal course.
To be eligible to elect hospice care under Medicare, an individual must be entitled to Medicare Part A and be certified as terminally ill.
Paying for Hospice Care
Hospice care is commonly covered by Medicare through the Medicare Hospice Benefit. Medicaid also covers hospice care through the Medicaid hospice benefit.
For those who are not eligible for Medicare or Medicaid, payment may come from private insurance or an HMO, since many plans also include a hospice benefit. Traditional Home Health and Hospice accepts most insurances, and additional coverage options may be reviewed when needed.
