How much does hospice cost?
Medicare pays the hospice agency for your care. You pay no deductible. You pay up to $5 for each pain or symptom drug you get as an outpatient. You pay 5% of the Medicare-approved cost for a short inpatient respite stay. Most families pay little or nothing for hospice care itself. See our guide to hospice care costs and who pays for the full picture.
Does Medicare pay for hospice?
Yes. Medicare Part A pays for hospice when a doctor says you have 6 months or less to live if the illness runs its normal course. You choose comfort care over care to cure the illness. Hospice is paid by Original Medicare even if you have a Medicare Advantage plan. Your Advantage plan still covers care that is not part of the hospice benefit.
What is the difference between hospice and palliative care?
Palliative care is comfort care that can start at any stage of a serious illness. You can get it while you still get treatment to cure the illness. Hospice is palliative care for the end of life. It starts when a doctor says you have 6 months or less to live, and you stop treatment aimed at a cure.
Who else pays for hospice besides Medicare?
Medicaid pays for hospice in most states for people who qualify. The VA covers hospice for veterans. Most private health plans and long-term care insurance plans cover hospice too. Many hospices also give care to people who cannot pay.
