Insurance & payment
Paying for hospice
Most families owe nothing for hospice care. Here's how coverage usually works; our business office will check your specific plan.
Medicare
The Medicare hospice benefit covers the team, medicines, equipment and supplies related to the hospice diagnosis, usually with no cost to the family.
Texas and Arkansas Medicaid
Both states' Medicaid programs cover hospice. If your loved one lives in a nursing home on Medicaid, room and board continues to be covered.
VA benefits
Veterans enrolled in VA health care are eligible for hospice. We help coordinate with the VA.
Private insurance
Most employer and marketplace plans include a hospice benefit. We verify coverage before care begins.
Room and board
Hospice does not pay rent or room and board in a nursing home or assisted living. Our social worker can explain the options.
