- Short-term inpatient care
- Arranged through another hospital or nursing home
- Type of inpatient care
- Both general inpatient care and respite care
- Medical supplies and equipment
- Brought in through an outside supplier
Short stays in a hospice inpatient unit, hospital, or nursing home for pain or symptoms that cannot be managed where the patient lives, or to give family caregivers a break.
Equipment and supplies tied to the terminal illness and the plan of care, such as a hospital bed, oxygen, wound supplies, or a wheelchair.
Medicare lets hospices provide these services through arrangements with other organizations. Either way, the hospice stays responsible for the covered care in the patient’s plan of care.

What to Ask When Choosing a Hospice Provider
You should feel confident before you sign any paperwork. Start by asking how quickly a nurse can get to your home in an emergency. This is a common worry for many families. Next, ask how they handle pain management during the night or on weekends. You need to know that help is there when the sun goes down. Ask how many patients each nurse usually helps at one time. A smaller caseload often means more time for your loved one. Finally, ask what happens if your needs change suddenly. You want a team that is flexible and ready to adapt. Do not be afraid to ask these questions. You deserve clear answers about the care your family will receive.
