When your doctor recommends hospice care, one of the first questions that comes to mind is: “Will Medicare cover this? How much will we have to pay?” These are critical concerns, especially when families are already facing the emotional weight of a terminal diagnosis.
The good news: Medicare provides one of the most comprehensive benefits in the entire Medicare program—the Medicare hospice benefit. It covers virtually all hospice services with almost no out-of-pocket costs. But understanding exactly what’s covered, what Medicare Part covers hospice (Part A, Part B, or Part D?), and how the benefit works in Oklahoma can feel overwhelming when you’re already managing so much.
If you’re trying to understand Medicare hospice coverage for yourself or a loved one—whether you have Original Medicare, Medicare Advantage, or Medicare plus SoonerCare—you deserve clear answers without insurance jargon.
This comprehensive guide will explain what Medicare hospice benefits cover in Oklahoma, out-of-pocket costs (spoiler: very minimal), how long Medicare pays for hospice, eligibility requirements, what happens if you have Medicare Advantage or Medicare supplements, and how SoonerCare works with Medicare for dual-eligible Oklahomans.
Understanding Medicare hospice benefits can ease financial worries during an already difficult time.
Quick Answer: What Does Medicare Cover for Hospice?
Medicare Part A covers hospice care at 100% with no deductibles and virtually no copays. Covered services include all nursing care, medications for terminal illness, medical equipment, hospice aide services, social work, chaplain support, and bereavement counseling. The only potential costs: small medication copays (up to $5 per prescription) and respite care coinsurance (about 5%, roughly $200 for 5 days).
Understanding the Medicare Hospice Benefit
Which Part of Medicare Covers Hospice?
Medicare Part A (hospital insurance) covers hospice care. You don’t use Part B (medical insurance) or Part D (prescription drug coverage) for most hospice services.
This is important because some Medicare beneficiaries assume they need to enroll in a separate hospice plan or that hospice is covered under Part B. It’s not. If you have Medicare Part A, you have hospice coverage.
Medicare Part A requirements: Most people get Part A automatically when they turn 65 if they (or their spouse) paid Medicare taxes while working. If you receive Social Security or Railroad Retirement benefits, you’re automatically enrolled in Part A.
What if I only have Part B? If you have Part B but not Part A (rare, but happens), you generally won’t have Medicare hospice coverage. You might qualify for SoonerCare (Oklahoma Medicaid) hospice coverage instead, or your hospice provider may work with you on charity care.
History of the Medicare Hospice Benefit
Congress created the Medicare hospice benefit in 1982, recognizing that Medicare didn’t adequately serve dying patients. Before 1982, Medicare would pay for repeated hospitalizations, ICU stays, and aggressive treatments but provided little support for comfort-focused end-of-life care at home.
The hospice benefit was revolutionary: It created a comprehensive package of services specifically designed for people in the final months of life, emphasizing comfort, family support, and home-based care. Today, over 1.5 million Medicare beneficiaries receive hospice care annually.
The benefit has remained remarkably stable over 40+ years. It’s considered one of the best values in Medicare—comprehensive services with minimal cost-sharing for beneficiaries.
Medicare Hospice Eligibility in Oklahoma
To receive Medicare hospice benefits in Oklahoma, you must meet these criteria:
1. You Must Have Medicare Part A
As explained above, hospice is covered under Part A, not Part B or Part D. If you have Medicare Part A, you have hospice coverage.
2. Terminal Illness Certification
Two physicians must certify that you have a terminal illness with a life expectancy of six months or less if the disease follows its expected course.
Who certifies: Your own doctor (primary care physician or specialist) and the hospice agency’s medical director both provide written certification.
What “six months” means: This is a prognosis estimate, not a guarantee or deadline. Many patients live longer than six months on hospice—Medicare allows recertification for additional benefit periods if the terminal condition persists.
3. You Elect the Hospice Benefit
You (or your healthcare proxy if you’re unable to decide) must formally choose to receive hospice care instead of curative treatment for your terminal illness. This is called “electing the Medicare hospice benefit.”
What this means: When you elect hospice, you’re agreeing to focus on comfort care rather than treatments aimed at curing the terminal illness. For example, if you have metastatic cancer, you agree to stop chemotherapy aimed at cure. If you have end-stage heart failure, you agree to manage symptoms at home rather than seeking hospital admission for aggressive intervention.
What you’re NOT giving up: You can still receive Medicare-covered care for conditions unrelated to your terminal illness. If you’re on hospice for cancer and break your hip, Medicare will still cover treatment for the broken hip.
4. You Receive Care from a Medicare-Certified Hospice
The hospice agency must be certified by Medicare. Virtually all licensed hospice providers in Oklahoma are Medicare-certified. When you call a hospice agency, ask: “Are you Medicare-certified?” The answer should be yes.
What Medicare Hospice Benefits Cover
The Medicare hospice benefit is remarkably comprehensive. Here’s everything that’s covered:
Nursing Care and Physician Services
Registered nurse visits: Regular scheduled visits from your primary hospice nurse (typically 2-3 times per week, more often if needed). The nurse assesses symptoms, manages medications, provides wound care, educates family caregivers, and coordinates your care.
24/7 on-call nursing: A hospice nurse is available by phone 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, every day of the year. If you have a symptom crisis at 3 AM, you call the hospice line and speak to an RN who can provide guidance and arrange a home visit if needed.
Hospice physician services: The hospice medical director oversees your care plan, manages complex symptoms, adjusts medications, and coordinates with your personal physician if they remain involved.
Medical director certification: The hospice physician provides required certifications and recertifications for Medicare.
Medications and Medical Supplies
All medications related to terminal illness: Hospice provides all drugs for pain relief, symptom control, and management of your terminal condition. This includes:
- Pain medications (morphine, oxycodone, fentanyl patches, etc.)
- Anti-nausea medications
- Anti-anxiety medications
- Medications for breathing comfort
- Laxatives (opioid pain medications cause constipation)
- Any other drugs needed for comfort related to the terminal diagnosis
Medication delivery: Hospice delivers these medications to your home. You don’t pick them up at a pharmacy.
Medical supplies: Bandages, wound care dressings, gloves, incontinence supplies, catheters—all provided by hospice.
Small medication copay: The only potential cost is a small copay for outpatient prescription drugs for pain and symptom management—capped at $5 per prescription. Many beneficiaries never pay even this small amount.
Durable Medical Equipment (DME)
Hospital beds: Electric hospital beds with rails and controls for positioning are delivered to your home and set up by hospice staff.
Oxygen equipment: Oxygen concentrators, oxygen tanks, tubing, nasal cannulas—all provided and maintained.
Mobility equipment: Wheelchairs, walkers, canes as needed for safety and comfort.
Bathroom safety equipment: Bedside commodes, shower chairs, raised toilet seats.
Specialized equipment: Suction machines, patient lifts, specialized mattresses to prevent bedsores—whatever is needed for comfort and safe care.
Equipment maintenance: If equipment breaks, hospice repairs or replaces it at no cost to you.
Hospice Aide and Homemaker Services
Personal care: Certified nursing assistants (hospice aides) visit your home several times per week to help with bathing, dressing, grooming, toileting, and other personal care activities.
Homemaker services: Light housekeeping tasks directly related to patient care (changing bed linens, tidying patient’s room).
Frequency: Typically 2-5 visits per week, 1-2 hours per visit, based on your care plan needs.
Social Work Services
Counseling: Licensed medical social workers provide emotional support for patients and family members facing terminal illness.
Advance care planning: Social workers help complete advance directives (living will, healthcare power of attorney, POLST forms).
Resource coordination: Connecting families to community resources, financial assistance programs, support groups.
Family meetings: Facilitating family discussions about care decisions and end-of-life wishes.
Spiritual Care (Chaplain Services)
Spiritual counseling: Hospice chaplains provide spiritual and existential support for patients and families of all faiths (or no faith).
Always optional, never required: You’re never obligated to see the chaplain. Chaplain services are offered because many people find spiritual support helpful when facing death, but it’s entirely your choice.
Interfaith approach: Chaplains are trained to respect all religious and spiritual beliefs, including secular perspectives.
Therapy Services for Comfort
Physical therapy: PT focuses on comfort and safety (preventing falls, safe transfers, pain management with positioning), not rehabilitation for improvement.
Occupational therapy: OT helps with adaptive equipment and techniques for conserving energy and maximizing independence with daily activities.
Speech therapy: Speech-language pathology for swallowing safety and communication support.
These therapies are provided when they improve comfort or safety, not for rehabilitation goals.
Respite Care
Purpose: Provides family caregivers a break from caregiving responsibilities.
What’s covered: Up to five consecutive days of inpatient care in a hospice facility, nursing home, or hospital. During this time, the patient receives care while family rests.
Cost: Small coinsurance payment (5% of Medicare payment rate for respite, typically around $200 for the full five days). This is one of the few out-of-pocket costs.
Frequency: Respite can be used occasionally throughout hospice care as needed.
Continuous Care During Crises
What it is: When symptoms become severe and unmanageable with routine visits, hospice can provide round-the-clock nursing care in your home for short periods (usually 8-24 hours).
Examples: Severe pain crisis, extreme agitation, breathing emergency, rapidly approaching death when family needs continuous professional support.
Cost: Fully covered by Medicare. No charge to family.
Inpatient Hospice Care for Acute Symptom Management
When needed: If symptoms can’t be managed at home despite all efforts, hospice can arrange inpatient admission to a hospice facility or hospital hospice unit.
Purpose: Intensive symptom management to get symptoms under control so patient can return home comfortably.
Duration: Typically a few days to a week. This is temporary, not long-term care.
Cost: Fully covered by Medicare with 5% coinsurance (around $200 per day, though most stays are brief). Many Medicare supplement plans cover this coinsurance.
Bereavement Support
For family members: After the patient dies, hospice provides grief counseling, support groups, and check-in calls for family members for up to 13 months.
Cost: Fully covered. No charge for bereavement services.
Who qualifies: Anyone considered “family” by the patient—blood relatives, close friends, neighbors who were involved in care.
What Medicare Hospice Does NOT Cover
To set accurate expectations, here’s what’s not covered:
Treatment Aimed at Curing Terminal Illness
If you elect hospice for metastatic cancer, Medicare hospice won’t pay for chemotherapy aimed at curing the cancer. If you have end-stage heart failure, hospice won’t pay for hospitalizations aimed at prolonging life.
Exception: Palliative treatments that improve comfort are covered. For example, radiation therapy to shrink a painful tumor (for comfort, not cure) may be covered under hospice.
Medications Unrelated to Terminal Illness
If you’re on hospice for cancer but take blood pressure medication for hypertension unrelated to the cancer, that blood pressure medication is covered under Medicare Part D (your prescription drug plan), not hospice.
Care for Conditions Unrelated to Terminal Diagnosis
If you’re on hospice for dementia and develop pneumonia requiring antibiotics, Medicare Part B (not hospice) covers treatment for conditions clearly unrelated to the hospice diagnosis.
In practice, hospice often works flexibly—if treating pneumonia would improve comfort, hospice may provide the antibiotics. This is a gray area managed case-by-case.
Room and Board
If you live in an assisted living facility or nursing home, you continue to pay the facility’s room and board charges. Hospice adds medical care, equipment, and support but doesn’t pay for housing costs.
If you live at home or with family, there’s no room and board issue—hospice comes to wherever you live.
24/7 Live-In Caregivers
Hospice visits your home regularly and is available by phone 24/7, but hospice staff don’t move into your home for round-the-clock care. Family members (or privately hired caregivers) provide day-to-day care between hospice visits.
Exception: During continuous care crises, hospice can provide 24-hour nursing in your home temporarily.
Out-of-Pocket Costs: What You’ll Actually Pay
One of the best features of Medicare hospice coverage is minimal out-of-pocket costs. Here’s the complete picture:
Most Beneficiaries Pay: $0
For most Medicare hospice patients, total out-of-pocket costs are zero dollars. All nursing, aide services, social work, chaplain, equipment, and medications are provided at no charge.
Possible Small Costs
Medication copay: Up to $5 per prescription for outpatient drugs for pain and symptom management. Most patients have 5-10 prescriptions, so potential total: $25-50 maximum. Many beneficiaries pay nothing even for this.
Respite care coinsurance: If you use the five-day respite benefit (family caregiver break), there’s 5% coinsurance on the Medicare payment rate—typically around $200 total for the five days.
Inpatient care coinsurance: If you need inpatient hospice for acute symptom management, there’s 5% coinsurance per day. Most stays are brief (2-5 days), so potential cost: a few hundred dollars. Many Medigap plans cover this coinsurance.
No Deductibles
The standard Medicare Part A deductible (around $1,600 per benefit period in 2026) does NOT apply to hospice care. You pay no deductible for hospice.
Comparison to Hospital Costs
To appreciate how affordable hospice is, consider: A single hospital stay under Medicare Part A costs the $1,600 deductible plus coinsurance after 60 days. Months of comprehensive hospice care cost less than one week in the hospital.
How Long Does Medicare Pay for Hospice?
One of the most common concerns: “What if I live longer than six months? Will Medicare stop covering hospice?”
Benefit Periods Explained
Medicare hospice coverage is structured in benefit periods:
Initial 90-day period: When you first elect hospice, you’re certified for an initial 90-day period.
Subsequent 90-day period: If you’re still alive and remain terminally ill at 90 days, the hospice medical director can recertify you for a second 90-day period.
Unlimited 60-day periods thereafter: After the first 180 days (two 90-day periods), hospice can recertify you for unlimited 60-day periods as long as you remain terminally ill.
No cap on total days: There is NO limit on how long you can receive Medicare hospice. As long as two physicians certify you’re still terminally ill, hospice continues.
What “Recertification” Means
Every benefit period, the hospice physician must review your case and certify in writing that you continue to have a terminal illness with limited prognosis. This doesn’t mean you have to be actively dying—it means the condition is still terminal and cure isn’t possible.
For patients with unpredictable disease trajectories (dementia, heart failure, COPD), recertification can continue for many months or even years. Some patients receive hospice for 18-24 months through ongoing recertification.
You Won’t “Run Out” of Hospice
Families often fear using hospice “too early” because they worry about running out of the benefit. This fear is based on a misunderstanding. You cannot run out of Medicare hospice coverage as long as the terminal condition persists.
What If You Improve?
If your condition unexpectedly improves to the point where you no longer meet criteria for terminal status, hospice will discharge you. This is rare but can happen.
If you later decline again and meet criteria, you can re-elect hospice. The benefit periods start over. You can elect hospice multiple times if your disease trajectory involves improvement and decline.
Medicare Advantage and Hospice Coverage
If you have a Medicare Advantage plan (Medicare Part C, like UnitedHealthcare, Humana, or Aetna Medicare Advantage), here’s how hospice works:
You Keep Your Medicare Advantage Plan
You don’t lose your Medicare Advantage plan when you elect hospice. The plan continues to cover care for conditions unrelated to your terminal illness.
Original Medicare Covers Hospice
Even though you have Medicare Advantage, hospice is covered by Original Medicare Part A, not your Advantage plan. Your Advantage plan steps aside for hospice services.
Your Advantage Plan Covers Non-Hospice Care
If you’re on hospice for cancer but need treatment for diabetes, high blood pressure, or other conditions unrelated to the cancer, your Medicare Advantage plan continues to cover those services.
No Network Restrictions for Hospice
Even if your Medicare Advantage plan has a provider network, you can choose any Medicare-certified hospice in Oklahoma. You’re not limited to in-network hospices.
Costs Remain Minimal
The same minimal cost-sharing (up to $5 medication copay, 5% coinsurance for respite/inpatient) applies whether you have Original Medicare or Medicare Advantage.
Medigap (Medicare Supplement) and Hospice
If you have a Medigap supplemental insurance plan to cover Medicare cost-sharing, here’s how it works with hospice:
Medigap May Cover Small Coinsurance Amounts
The 5% coinsurance for respite care and inpatient care may be covered by certain Medigap plans (particularly Plans C, D, F, G, and N). Check your specific plan.
Medication Copay Not Covered
The up to $5 medication copay for hospice drugs typically isn’t covered by Medigap plans.
Overall Impact: Minimal
Since hospice costs are already very low, Medigap doesn’t dramatically change out-of-pocket costs. But if you have a Medigap plan, you might pay zero dollars instead of the small coinsurance amounts.
SoonerCare (Oklahoma Medicaid) and Hospice
Dual-Eligible Beneficiaries
Many Oklahoma seniors are “dual-eligible”—they qualify for both Medicare and Medicaid (SoonerCare). If you’re dual-eligible:
Medicare pays first: Medicare hospice coverage is your primary coverage.
SoonerCare may cover cost-sharing: The small medication copays and coinsurance amounts that Medicare doesn’t cover may be covered by SoonerCare for dual-eligible members.
No out-of-pocket costs: Dual-eligible beneficiaries typically pay nothing for hospice care.
SoonerCare-Only Beneficiaries
If you have Oklahoma Medicaid but not Medicare (rare for seniors, more common for younger disabled individuals), SoonerCare covers hospice independently. Coverage is comprehensive with no cost-sharing.
Oklahoma Medicaid Hospice Providers
Most Medicare-certified hospices in Oklahoma also accept SoonerCare. When calling a hospice agency, ask: “Do you accept SoonerCare?” or “Do you serve dual-eligible Medicare/Medicaid beneficiaries?”
Hospice Coverage in Different Settings
Medicare hospice coverage applies wherever you live:
At Home
Most common setting. Hospice comes to your private residence—house, apartment, mobile home, adult child’s home, wherever you live. All services and equipment are delivered to your home.
Assisted Living or Residential Care
Hospice partners with assisted living facilities across Oklahoma to provide care in those settings. You continue to pay the facility’s monthly fee for room and board. Hospice adds medical care, equipment, and support at no additional charge.
Nursing Homes
Hospice can be provided in skilled nursing facilities. Medicare pays the hospice agency for hospice services. Medicaid (if applicable) or private pay continues to cover nursing home room and board. The services don’t duplicate—nursing home provides custodial care; hospice provides specialized comfort care.
Inpatient Hospice Facilities
Oklahoma has dedicated inpatient hospice houses (like Clarehouse in Tulsa and Integris Hospice House in Oklahoma City). Medicare covers inpatient hospice care with the 5% coinsurance per day.
How to Access Medicare Hospice Benefits in Oklahoma
Step 1: Determine Eligibility
Talk to your doctor about whether your condition meets hospice criteria (terminal illness, six-month prognosis if disease follows expected course). Many doctors will initiate this conversation, but you can ask directly: “Do you think hospice would be appropriate?”
Step 2: Choose a Medicare-Certified Hospice
Oklahoma has many Medicare-certified hospice providers. You can:
Ask your doctor for recommendations: Most physicians have relationships with local hospices.
Call Medicare: 1-800-MEDICARE provides a list of certified hospices in your area.
Use Medicare.gov: The Hospice Compare tool lets you search by ZIP code and compare agencies.
Contact agencies directly: Search “hospice near me” for Tulsa, Oklahoma City, Muskogee, or your community. Call agencies to ask about services.
Step 3: Hospice Evaluation
Once you contact a hospice agency, they’ll schedule a home visit for evaluation (typically within 24-48 hours). A hospice nurse will:
- Review your medical history
- Assess current symptoms and care needs
- Explain hospice services in detail
- Determine if you meet Medicare eligibility criteria
- Answer all your questions
There’s no charge for this evaluation and no obligation to enroll.
Step 4: Elect the Hospice Benefit
If you decide to proceed, you’ll sign forms to elect the Medicare hospice benefit. This includes:
Election statement: Confirming you choose hospice care instead of curative treatment for your terminal illness.
Acknowledgment of Medicare coverage: Understanding what Medicare covers and the small potential costs.
Advance directives discussion: The hospice team will discuss advance care planning.
Step 5: Care Begins
Within 24-48 hours of electing hospice, services begin:
- Medical equipment is delivered and set up
- Medications are delivered to your home
- Your primary hospice nurse makes the first visit
- The care team develops your personalized care plan
Step 6: Ongoing Care
Throughout your time on hospice:
- Nurses visit regularly (frequency based on needs)
- Your hospice physician certifies and recertifies your eligibility
- Services adjust as your needs change
- You have 24/7 access to nursing support
Frequently Asked Questions About Medicare Hospice Coverage
Does Medicare cover hospice if I don’t have Part D prescription coverage?
Yes. Hospice medications for your terminal illness are covered under the hospice benefit (Part A), not Part D. You don’t need to enroll in a Part D plan to have hospice medication coverage. However, for medications unrelated to your terminal diagnosis, you’d still need Part D or another prescription plan.
What if I want to try one more treatment—can I stay on hospice?
If you want to pursue curative treatment, you must revoke hospice. You can’t receive curative treatment for the terminal condition while enrolled in hospice. However, you can revoke hospice, try the treatment, and re-elect hospice later if the treatment doesn’t work. The benefit doesn’t disappear.
Will Medicare pay for hospice at a nursing home?
Yes. Medicare pays the hospice agency for hospice services even if you live in a nursing home. However, Medicare doesn’t pay the nursing home’s room and board charges—those continue to be paid by Medicaid (if eligible) or out-of-pocket. The hospice services (nursing, medications, equipment, etc.) are covered by Medicare hospice benefit.
How much will my family pay if I’m on hospice for six months?
For most beneficiaries, total out-of-pocket cost for six months of hospice care is $0-100. The only potential costs are small medication copays (up to $5 each, maybe $50 total over six months) and respite coinsurance if you use that benefit. Compared to the cost of hospitalizations, surgeries, or ICU stays, hospice is remarkably affordable.
Does Medicare cover hospice for dementia patients?
Yes. Dementia qualifies for hospice when it reaches late stage (unable to communicate, total care needed, frequent infections, weight loss). The condition must be terminal with limited prognosis. Many dementia patients receive hospice in their final months, whether at home, in memory care, or nursing homes. Medicare covers hospice for dementia just as it does for cancer or heart failure.
What happens to my Medicare hospice coverage if I move to a different state?
Medicare is a federal program—coverage doesn’t change if you move. However, you’d need to transfer to a Medicare-certified hospice in your new location. The Oklahoma hospice would coordinate transfer of care with a hospice in your new state. The benefit continues seamlessly.
Can I change hospice agencies if I’m not satisfied?
Yes. You can change from one Medicare-certified hospice to another at any time. You’re not locked into your initial choice. If you’re not satisfied with communication, responsiveness, or quality of care, you can switch agencies. Your Medicare benefit continues without interruption.
Does Medicare hospice cover alternative therapies like massage or music therapy?
Medicare hospice guidelines don’t specifically cover complementary therapies, but many hospices offer them as part of their volunteer programs or general services. Massage therapy, music therapy, pet therapy, and art therapy are commonly available through hospice programs, though not technically “Medicare-covered” services. Ask the hospice what complementary services they offer.
If I’m on hospice and have a medical emergency, does Medicare cover the ER visit?
If you go to the ER for a condition related to your terminal illness, Medicare expects hospice to manage that crisis at home instead. Hospice won’t pay for the ER visit. However, if you go to the ER for something clearly unrelated to your hospice diagnosis (like a broken bone from a fall), Medicare Part B would cover that ER visit. Hospice encourages calling their 24/7 line before going to the ER so they can assess if the issue can be managed at home.
What if I outlive my prognosis and I’m still alive after a year on hospice?
Hospice continues as long as you remain terminally ill. Many patients live longer than their initial prognosis—COPD, heart failure, and dementia are particularly unpredictable. Medicare allows unlimited 60-day recertifications. Hospice agencies have patients who’ve received care for 18 months, two years, even longer in rare cases. You will not be discharged from hospice just because you’ve lived “too long.”
Conclusion: Comprehensive Coverage for End-of-Life Care
The Medicare hospice benefit is one of the most generous and comprehensive benefits in the entire Medicare program. For Oklahoma families facing terminal illness, understanding this coverage brings financial peace of mind during an emotionally difficult time.
Medicare Part A covers virtually all hospice services—nursing care, medications, equipment, personal care, social work, spiritual support, and bereavement counseling—with almost no out-of-pocket costs. The small potential expenses (up to $5 medication copays, 5% coinsurance for respite and inpatient care) are minimal compared to the value of services provided.
The benefit has no cap on duration. As long as the terminal condition persists, hospice continues through unlimited recertification. You cannot run out of Medicare hospice coverage.
Whether you have Original Medicare, Medicare Advantage, Medigap supplemental insurance, or dual coverage with Medicare and SoonerCare, hospice is fully accessible and affordable.
Across Oklahoma—from Tulsa and Oklahoma City to Muskogee and small rural communities—Medicare-certified hospice agencies accept Medicare hospice coverage and provide care in homes, assisted living facilities, nursing homes, and inpatient hospice houses.
If you or a loved one has a terminal illness and qualifies for hospice, Medicare will cover the care you need. Financial concerns should not prevent you from accessing the comfort, support, and dignity that hospice provides.
For questions about your specific Medicare coverage, call 1-800-MEDICARE or speak with the hospice agency you’re considering. They can explain exactly what your coverage includes and what, if any, costs you’ll face.
Hospice care is available, comprehensive, and covered when you need it most.
