Hospice care is covered by Medicare and Medi-Cal, ensuring financial support for individuals in need. Additionally, private insurance plans and HMOs also offer coverage for hospice services.
Hospice Criteria
To determine eligibility for Medicare and Medi-Cal benefits, patients must meet specific criteria outlined below:
- The patient has a chronic illness such as emphysema, heart failure, Alzheimer’s disease, or a terminal diagnosis with a limited life expectancy if the conditions take their natural course.
- The focus will be on palliative treatment, including pain control and emotional/spiritual support.
- The patient’s physician authorizes hospice care.
