Inpatient Care and Medical Equipment
Hospices report these services to Medicare when they are certified. This is what JAMESTOWN REGIONAL MEDICAL CENTER HOSPICE reported, not a check of what it offers today. Confirm current arrangements with the hospice.
An older Medicare record for this hospice lists short-term inpatient care as “not provided.” That code may be out of date.

- Medical supplies and equipment
- Brought in through an outside supplier
Equipment and supplies tied to the terminal illness and the plan of care, such as a hospital bed, oxygen, wound supplies, or a wheelchair.
