Where can I receive hospice services?
Hospice patients are cared for in their home wherever the home may be (patient's home, home of relative of friend, or a nursing home).
Who pays for hospice?
Medicare and Medicaid cover the full cost of hospice care. Most private insurance covers hospice as well.
Should I wait for my physician to raise the possibility of hospice or should I raise it first?
You should feel free to discuss hospice care at any time with your physician, other healthcare professional, clergy, family, or friends.
What if I change my mind about hospice?
Hospice is a choice. A patient may choose to leave anytime. A patient may also be discharged if a patient shows signs of improvement, and the disease seems to be in remission.
