Inpatient Care and Medical Equipment
Hospices report these services to Medicare when they are certified. This is what HOSPICE VISIONS reported, not a check of what it offers today. Confirm current arrangements with the hospice.
- Short-term inpatient care
- Both provided directly and arranged with other facilities
- 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
Choosing a hospice team is a big decision for any family. You should feel comfortable asking hard questions during your first meeting. First, ask how quickly a nurse can get to your home if an emergency happens at night. You need to know that help is available 24/7. Second, ask how they will help with pain and other symptoms. You want to know their plan is custom-made for your loved one. Third, ask about the support they offer to family members after a loss. Grief support is a huge part of what a good hospice does. Finally, ask how they will work with your current doctor. A smooth transition is vital for good care. Don't be afraid to ask these questions. You deserve clear and honest answers from every provider you interview.
