Who Pays for Hospice Care?

Hospice services are covered by major insurers such as HMSA, Kaiser, Medicare and Medicaid, but the reimbursement does not reflect our actual costs. There is always a shortfall between the daily cost of services rendered and the amount received from nsurers. Plus, we provide hospice care to all those who are eligible regardless of whether they have insurance or whether they have the ability to pay. When there is no source of payment, we use funds from community donations to help cover the cost of care.
