How is hospice care paid for?
Hospice care costs are covered by Medicare (through the Medicare Hospice Benefit), Medi-Cal, Veteran’s Health Administration (VA), and most Private Insurers. A member of our team can assist you, if you think you are eligible or are unsure about what is covered under your insurance plan.
