Hospice Care Not Limited to Six Months
Did you know that hospice care is not limited to six months of service?
Although the Medicare Hospice Benefit requires a terminally ill patient have a prognosis of six months or less to live, there is not a six-month limit to hospice care services.
A patient who is in the final phase of life may receive hospice care for as long as necessary when a physician certifies that he or she continues to meet eligibility requirements. 
According to the National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization the Medicare Hospice Benefit has two 90-day periods of care (a total of six months) followed by an unlimited number of 60-day periods.
Please contact us for additional information about advance care planning, hospice and palliative care, caregiving, home health care, and more.
Hospice Enrollment Saves Money
According to the National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization, new research from Mount Sinai’s Icahn School of Medicine found that hospice enrollment saves money for Medicare and improves care quality for Medicare Beneficiaries with a number of different lengths of services.
The report demonstrates the value of hospice care because it examines the relationship between length of hospice enrollment and overall Medicare costs.
The findings suggest that “substantial reduction in hospital days – a primary goal of health care reform – is achieved regardless of the length of hospice enrollment.”
Please call us if you have any questions about hospice care.
