Question of the Month

Can My Family Afford Hospice?

You can't afford not to.

Most insurance companies, including Medicare and Medicaid, will pay for Hospice benefits. Generally there is very little that comes out of your pocket for Hospice care. Almost always coverage includes such things as beds, commodes, oxygen and even your medications related to your illness or hospice comfort care.

Please call and ask how you can be afforded the opportunity to receive hospice care from Catholic Community Hospice.
