Inpatient Care and Medical Equipment
Hospices report these services to Medicare when they are certified. This is what ASPEN 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
Choosing a hospice provider is a big step for your family. It is important to ask the right questions to ensure you feel supported. Here are a few things to consider asking during your first meeting:
- How quickly can a nurse get to my home if there is an emergency at night?
- What specific training does your staff have to help with pain management?
- How will your team keep my regular doctor updated on my care?
- What kind of support is available for my family members who are grieving?
Take notes when you speak to different providers. Trust your gut feeling about the team members you meet. You want a group that listens to your concerns and answers your questions clearly.
