Will Medicare Pay For Hospice? 
That is a great question , and one with a great answer ! Yes , Medicare Part A pays for end of life treatment . You will need a Doctor 's certification that your loved one is expected to pass within 6 months , and that no further restorative procedures are to be implemented . It does n't matter if the hospice care is given in your home , or a facility , as long as it is Medicare approved . You may also need a living will , or something similar to qualify . It will also pay for up to 5 days of respite care , if you need to take a break . Thanks for asking !
