Hospice is one of very few services that are covered up to 100% by Medicare and Medicaid. for many families, this means there is no deductible and there are no co-payments. Provided other eligibility requirements are met, Medicare and Medicaid will pay for home visits and all medications, supplies, and equipment related to easing pain or uncomfortable symptoms. In most instances, Medicare and Medicaid will even pay for several days a month in a nursing home if family members need a break. Medicare and Medicaid may even pay for hospice services provided in conjunction with a longer nursing home stay. Contact us at 800.338.4043 or info@guardianangelhospice.com for more information.
For individuals with private insurance, check with your insurance carrier regarding hospice benefits. Typically they cover the same services, medications, supplies, and equipment as the Medicare program. Some follow the same eligibility requirements as Medicare; others have their own eligibility criteria.
Return to topCurrently, the legislature has established very specific criteria for Medicare and/or Medicaid recipients to receive full hospice coverage.
Private insurance companies often mirror Medicare and Medicaid’s eligibility requirements, although a very few will pay for curative and hospice care simultaneously, especially in the case of seriously ill children. Check with your insurance carrier to find out about their criteria, or give us a call at 800.338.4043.
