Who is Hospice care for?

Any person with a limited life expectancy and terminal illness.

The most common of these diseases or conditions of hospice patients include ALS, cancer, dementia, heart disease, HIV, kidney disease, liver disease, lung disease, Parkinson’s disease, stroke, and coma.

Who Qualifies for Hospice care?

Assuming the disease process follows its normal course, any person certified by their attending physician to have a life expectancy of six months or less.

The patient and/or family must be aware of the prognosis and elect palliative or comfort care, rather than active curative measures.

Will There be a Need for a New Physician?

Patient and family may choose to keep their own doctor or may choose our medical director. You and your family will decide what is best.

Where is Hospice Provided?

Hospice care may be provided where the patient is, including their home, or wherever the patient resides.

Who Pays for Hospice?

Hospice care is a benefit under Medicare Part A, Medi-Cal and most private insurers.

It is important to note that Original Medicare covers hospice even if you’re in a Medicare Advantage Plan.

Many health insurance plans you obtain privately, such as the kind provided by an employer, offer a hospice benefit but the extent to which they cover hospice care and services may differ from Medicare as well as from one another.

And hospices will accept private payment, referred to as “self-pay.”
