How Long Does Hospice Last?
Did your loved one receive a doctor’s recommendation for hospice care? Are you worried about how long will they be living in hospice? While there is no single answer to this question as every patient is different, hospice is often recommended to people who have less than 6 months to live.
Hospice Care Qualification
For a patient to receive hospice care, he must meet the eligibility requirements established by the U.S. Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. If you have insurance such as Medicare or Medicaid and if two physicians certify that you have less than 6 months to live, you are eligible for free hospice care.
Also, it must be remembered that patients do get discharged from hospice. Patients are reevaluated every 6 months to access whether they still qualify for hospice care or not. If the patient’s condition improves, they are allowed to stop hospice care!
Our mission is to provide the best services for your life better.
The Inspiration Hospice team is thorough professional, everyone is so kind and they helped us get answers to our questions.
Words are inadequate to describe how much I appreciate what they did to help my father pass away peacefully. Words cannot express our thanks for all the care they provided.
Worth recommending!!!
