How Does Medicare Hospice Work?
- 63333 POINTSview profilePeggy MaceMost of the U.S.Medicare pays 100% for most health care expenses incurred while receiving hospice care. Hospice care is reimbursed by Medicare if the patient's condition is terminal and treatment for the cure of the condition has ceased. Pain management, comfort measures, therapy, counseling, and necessary medical equipment are all covered by Medicare. The Medicare recipient will be required to pay a co-pay for a hospital stay to give respite to the caregiver.Answered on September 13, 2013flag this answer
