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
You have choices, and that is a good thing. Before you sign on with any provider, bring a list of questions. Here are a few that really matter:
- How quickly can a nurse get to my home if we have an emergency at night?
- What specific services do you offer to support family caregivers during this time?
- How do you handle pain and symptom management for someone in our situation?
- Can you tell me how your team coordinates with our current primary doctor?
Don't be afraid to ask for clarity. If an answer feels vague, ask them to explain it again. A good provider will never make you feel rushed or silly for asking. They should be transparent about how they work. You are the expert on your loved one. They are the experts in clinical care. Together, you form a team focused on comfort.
