Medicare Benefits
At Hearts for Hospice and Home Health, we understand that navigating healthcare coverage can be complex. Medicare provides specific benefits designed to support patients facing life-limiting illnesses and those requiring home health care.
Hospice Care Coverage
Medicare Part A (Hospital Insurance) covers hospice care for patients who meet the following requirements:
- You are enrolled in Medicare Part A.
- Your hospice doctor and your regular doctor certify that you are terminally ill with a life expectancy of 6 months or less.
- You sign a statement choosing hospice care instead of other Medicare-covered treatments for your terminal illness.
Home Health Care
If you require skilled nursing care or therapy services in your home, Medicare may provide coverage if you are considered "homebound" and under the care of a physician who has established a plan of care for you.
Note: Benefits may vary based on individual circumstances. Please contact our administrative office to discuss your specific insurance eligibility and how we can support you and your family.
