Inpatient Care and Medical Equipment
Hospices report these services to Medicare when they are certified. This is what BRIDGE HOSPICE reported, not a check of what it offers today. Confirm current arrangements with the hospice.
- 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 have the right to ask questions before picking a hospice agency. Start by asking how the staff handles pain management at night. You should also ask how often a nurse will visit the home. Does the team have experience with your specific health condition? This is a fair question to ask. Ask about their communication style with family members. Do they provide updates on a regular basis? You should also ask about their emergency response plan. Who do you call on a weekend or a holiday? A good provider will have clear answers for you. They should make you feel heard and respected. Do not feel rushed during this process. Take your time to find the right fit. Your family deserves care that gives you peace of mind.
