Financing End-of-Life Care: Does California Pay for Hospice Care?

Navigating the financial aspect of end-of-life care can be daunting. The good news is that in California, various programs and insurances, including Medi-Cal and Medicare, can help cover the cost of hospice care. At New Vision Hospice & Palliative Care, we are here to guide you through understanding these financial resources and ensuring that you or your loved ones receive the care they deserve.

Medi-Cal and Hospice Care

Medi-Cal, California’s Medicaid program, provides coverage for hospice care for those who meet the eligibility requirements. This includes individuals with a terminal illness who are expected to live six months or less if the illness runs its normal course. The coverage includes services like medical care, counseling, prescription drugs, and respite care for caregivers.

Medicare and Hospice Care

Medicare is another potential source of funding for hospice care in California. The Medicare Hospice Benefit covers all services related to the terminal illness, including medical and support services, medications, medical supplies, and equipment. This coverage is available for Medicare Part A participants who meet the hospice eligibility requirements.

Private Insurance

Many private insurance companies also provide coverage for hospice care. The specifics of this coverage can vary greatly depending on the plan and the provider. It’s important to contact your insurance provider directly to understand what your plan covers.
