Hospice In Nursing Facilities

Hospice patients in nursing facilities are entitled to all the same privileges given to Hospice patients at home.

Patients using regular Medicare for their nursing home stay are not eligible for coverage under Hospice Medicare benefits. However, they may still qualify for self-paid Hospice services.

Patients with Medicare Part-A who are privately paying the nursing home may use their Hospice Medicare Benefit for Hospice services in the nursing home setting.

If the patient is Medicare/Medicaid eligible, then Medicaid will pay for nursing home room and board and Medicare will pay for the Hospice benefits.
