- Type of inpatient care
- Both general inpatient care and respite care
- 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.
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

First, ask how quickly a nurse can get to your home if an emergency happens at night. Second, ask how they handle pain management and if they have a doctor on call. Third, ask how often the nurse will visit the patient each week. You might also ask how they support family members who are grieving. Knowing their process will help you feel more prepared. Do not be afraid to ask for clear answers. Good providers welcome these questions. They want you to feel confident in the care they provide. Your peace of mind is the goal here.
