Medicare Part A covers up to 100% of the cost of hospice care related to a hospice-eligible patient’s advanced illness, with no deductible or copayment. For patients with Medicare Advantage, hospice is covered by original Medicare. Patients with a private or employer-provided health plan should check with their insurance provider for details about hospice eligibility, coverage and out-of-pocket expenses. Medicaid provides hospice coverage, but it varies by state.

Hospice care is a special kind of care that focuses on the quality of life for people and their caregivers who are experiencing an advanced, life-limiting illness. Hospice care provides compassionate care for people in the last phases of incurable disease so that they may live as fully and comfortably as possible.

The most common level of hospice care, this includes nursing and home health aide services. This is when a patient needs continuous nursing care during a time of crisis. Hospice is not a place, it is a concept for those who have life-limiting illnesses. Even when medicine cannot provide a cure, it can offer comfort, care, and assistance that help maintain a better quality of life for the patient. This type of attention is called palliative care. It involves the aggressive treatment of physical and emotional pain and symptoms. It focuses on enhancing a patient’s comfort and improving that person’s quality of life.

Centuries ago, a hospice was a shelter for travelers. Over the years, it evolved into a refuge where people could find care, comfort and support during difficult times in their journey through life. It is to help with this journey that Santa Rosa Hospice Care has been founded to assist patients and families who are coping with terminal illnesses.
