Medicare Hospice Coverage

Medicare generally covers hospice care for eligible beneficiaries who elect the hospice benefit.

What the benefit generally includes

Coverage may include the hospice team, related medications, medical equipment and supplies, symptom management, short-term inpatient or respite care when criteria are met, and bereavement support.

Coverage depends on eligibility, election of the benefit and whether services are related to the terminal illness. HHHOK will explain potential costs before admission.
