Paying for Hospice Care

Donate to HFAWhen people learn about all that hospice care has to offer, often they are both relieved and concerned: relieved that the comprehensive list of services aims to comfort the patient and assist the caregiver; concerned about how such valuable services are paid for.  But they need not worry.  As this video shows, if someone is medically qualified for hospice, there almost certainly is a way to pay for it, even if the patient lacks insurance or any other means to pay for their care. See other Hospice Information Center videos.

This project is provided through the support of a grant from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) to support hospice and end-of-life care outreach and education.

CMS funds of $571,000 with HFA in-kind services of $5,710 are funding a variety of outreach and educational programs.
