Yes, and the reimbursement we receive from Medicare and Medicaid pays the costs for covered hospice services, including the cost of medications related to the patient's hospice diagnosis and durable medical equipment, such as walkers and wheelchairs.
If you do not have Medicare or Medicaid, hospice will check to see if your Private Insurance policy has hospice benefits and whether you will incur a deductible and/or co-insurance.
Room and board charges in the inpatient unit are not covered by Medicare, Medicaid or most private insurance policies.
