Inpatient Care and Medical Equipment
Hospices report these services to Medicare when they are certified. This is what ARCY 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 major step. You should feel comfortable with the team you select. Here are a few key questions to ask when you meet with a provider:
- How quickly can your team come to our home if we have an emergency?
- What specific services do you offer to support family members during this time?
- How do you handle pain management and comfort for the patient?
- Can you tell me how your staff communicates with our primary doctor?
Asking these questions helps you understand how the agency works. It allows you to see if their values match your family's needs. Do not be afraid to ask for clarity. A good hospice provider will be happy to answer all your concerns. They should be transparent and kind. Take your time to find the right fit for your loved one.
