Medicare Hospice Care
What is Hospice Care?Hospice care is a type of care and philosophy of care that focuses on the palliation of a chronically ill, terminally ill or
seriously ill patient's pain and symptoms, and attending to their emotional and spiritual needs. Care may be provided in a patient's
home or in a designated facility such as nursing home, hospital unit or freestanding hospice, with level of care and sometimes location
based upon frequent evaluation of the patient's needs. The four primary levels of care provided by hospice are routine home care, continuous care,
general inpatient and respite care.
How long can one get medicare hospice care?Hospice care is for people with a life expectancy of 6 months or less (if the disease runs its normal course). If the person receiving hospice care lives longer than 6 months, he or she can still get hospice care.
- A person can get hospice care for two 90-day benefit periods, followed by an unlimited number of 60-day benefit periods.
- At the start of each period, the hospice medical director or other hospice doctor must recertify that the person is terminally ill (with a life expectancy of 6 months or less). This step is required for continued hospice care.
