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.

- How quickly can your team reach our home if we have an urgent need?
- What specific services do you provide to help with pain and symptom management?
- How does your team support the emotional and spiritual needs of our family?
- What is your process for communicating with our family about changes in care?
Take your time when you talk to different providers. It is okay to ask for clarification on anything you do not understand. A good provider will be happy to answer your questions clearly and honestly. They should make you feel supported, not rushed. Focus on finding a team that aligns with your family's values and needs.
