Three things worth knowing first
- Medicare's hospice benefit covers the hospice team, medications related to the terminal diagnosis, and equipment. It does not cover room and board in a facility.
- Palliative care is not the same thing. It focuses on symptom relief and can run alongside treatment intended to cure, at any stage.
- You can change hospice providers, and you can revoke hospice and return to curative treatment.
You can check any facility's record free. NYS Health Profiles (profiles.health.ny.gov) publishes free license status and inspection history for every Adult Care Facility and nursing home. Read the full explanation →
