What Hospice Care costs
Hospice is usually paid by Medicare, Medicaid or private insurance, so many families pay little or nothing out of pocket. Private-pay hospice runs about $150 to $1,000 a day depending on the level of care and whether it is at home or inpatient.
Frequently asked questions
Does Medicare pay for hospice?
Yes. Medicare covers hospice for a terminal illness with a life expectancy of six months or less, including nursing, drugs and equipment. Most families pay little beyond small copays.
What does private-pay hospice cost?
Without coverage, hospice runs about $150 to $1,000 a day. Inpatient care costs more than routine care at home.
How long can someone receive hospice?
Hospice is covered in benefit periods. As long as a doctor recertifies the terminal illness, it can continue beyond six months.
