Who qualifies for hospice care?

Hospice care is for anyone with a serious illness whose physician certifies a life expectancy of about six months or less if the illness runs its normal course. Choosing hospice shifts the focus from curative treatment to comfort and quality of life. If you're unsure where your loved one stands, our free assessment guide is a gentle place to start, or check your insurance eligibility in about a minute.

Who pays for hospice care?

For eligible patients, the Medicare hospice benefit covers hospice care in full, including nursing visits, medications related to the terminal illness, medical equipment, home health aide support, and family counseling. Medicaid and most private insurance plans provide similar coverage, so families rarely pay out of pocket. You can read more about how Medicare covers palliative care and hospice.
