Inpatient Care and Medical Equipment
Hospices report these services to Medicare when they are certified. This is what QUALITY CARE 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 should feel empowered to ask tough questions when picking a hospice team. Start by asking how quickly they can get a nurse to the home after a call. You want to know that help is available at night and on weekends. Ask who will be the main person you talk to about changes in health. It is also good to ask how they handle pain management and comfort needs. Ask if they provide equipment like beds or oxygen. See if they offer support for the family after the patient passes away. These answers will help you see if their services match your needs. Be clear about what matters most to your loved one. Take your time to get the right information before you decide on a partner.
