Most health insurance's, including Medicare, provide full coverage for Hospice care, usually with no co-payments or deductibles.* In addition, most Medicaid and commercial insurance plans also offer excellent coverage for hospice services with few, if any, out-of-pocket expenses. Patients who are underinsured or who have limited resources can apply for financial assistance, which is funded by community donations.

*Hospice care at home is free: all medical services, medication, and equipment related to the admitting diagnosis are paid in full by Medicare in 80% of cases.
