- 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
Picking a hospice team is a personal choice. You should talk to a few different groups before you decide. Start by asking how quickly they can respond if a problem happens at night or on the weekend. You want to know that help is there when you need it most. Ask about their staff and how often a nurse will visit your home. It helps to know who will be in charge of the daily care plan. You should also ask how they help the family cope with stress and grief. Do they offer extra support for caregivers? Finally, ask them to explain their quality scores in simple terms. A good provider will be happy to talk about their record. They should explain how they handle pain and why they chose their specific approach. Clear answers show that they value your peace of mind and are ready to serve your family well.
