Change Change Change-- recently with so many changes in insurance-- people often ask- How can I afford to have someone come in to help us and also get an RN? Hospice services are paid for by Medicaid, by Medicare and even some of your private insurance companies. If you need services- let us take the burden of "how to pay for it off of you"- we have an entire team that looks for that YES!
Myth: A patient needs Medicare or Medicaid to afford hospice services.
Reality: Although insurance coverage for hospice is available through Medicare and in 44 states and the District of Columbia under Medicaid, most private insurance plans, HMOs, and other managed care organizations include hospice care as a benefit. In addition, through community contributions, memorial donations, and foundation gifts, many hospices are able to provide patients who lack sufficient payment with free services. Other programs charge patients in accordance with their ability to pay.
