Inpatient Care and Medical Equipment
Hospices report these services to Medicare when they are certified. This is what REFINED HOSPICE LLC 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.

First, ask how quickly a nurse can get to your home if an emergency happens at night. Second, ask how they help family members cope with grief. Third, ask what specific tasks their aides will perform during a typical visit. Finally, ask if they have experience with your loved one’s specific health condition.
