Inpatient Care and Medical Equipment
Hospices report these services to Medicare when they are certified. This is what CENTRIC 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 the right hospice team is a big decision for any family. You should feel comfortable asking direct questions to get the information you need. First, ask how quickly a nurse can get to the home if an emergency happens at night. Second, inquire about how the team will help manage pain and other symptoms. You should also ask how they support family members who are grieving or feeling overwhelmed. Finally, check if their staff is available on weekends and holidays for routine visits. It is helpful to understand how they communicate with your regular doctors. Write down the answers so you can compare your options later. Do not feel rushed to pick a provider before you have all the facts. Getting clear answers now will help you feel more confident about the care plan moving forward.
