Does Medicare cover hospice care in Bates County?

Medicare Part A can cover hospice when the hospice doctor and your regular doctor, if you have one, certify a terminal prognosis of six months or less. You must choose comfort care for the terminal illness and related conditions and sign a hospice election statement. Provider certification alone does not establish your eligibility. Covered hospice services generally have no charge, but some medicines, respite care and room and board can involve costs. Discuss eligibility and your care plan with the hospice team.

How do I know which hospices serve my address?

Each hospice reports the ZIP codes it serves to Medicare. Enter your ZIP code in the finder on the homepage to see exactly which hospices list it — then call to confirm, because service areas can change between Medicare updates.

What do the star ratings mean?

Stars come from Medicare's CAHPS survey, which asks bereaved family caregivers about their experience. Medicare publishes a star rating only when a hospice has enough survey responses — a missing rating never means poor care.
