Medicare and Insurance Coverage
Medicare covers hospice care as a full benefit for patients with a life-limiting illness — at little to no out-of-pocket cost to the patient or family. Most private health insurance plans and Medicaid offer similar coverage.
General Inpatient (GIP) hospice care may also be covered under the Medicare Hospice Benefit when a patient meets the clinical eligibility requirements for that level of care. Our admissions team can help families and referring providers understand coverage and eligibility.
