- 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
Picking a hospice team is a very important decision for your family. It is helpful to ask clear questions before you decide. Here are some things you should ask any provider you talk with:
- How quickly can your team come to our home if we have an emergency?
- How do you manage pain and keep the patient comfortable?
- What kind of emotional or spiritual support do you offer to our family?
- How often will a nurse visit our home to check on my loved one?
