Enrolling into Medicare leads many seniors to start thinking about their end-of-life plans, because who wants to be deciphering their Medicare coverage when you’d rather focus on spending as much of your remaining time with your loved ones as possible?
Medicare Part A will cover hospice, but only if you meet certain requirements: Your doctor must certify that you are terminally ill and have a life expectancy of 12 months or less. You must be accepting palliative care instead of curative care and you must demonstrate that you are choosing hospice over other Medicare-covered treatments. If you receive care from a Medicare-approved hospice provider, you’ll pay nothing for those services.
Now you can breathe a sigh of relief knowing that you can receive high quality care in the face of a terminal diagnosis.
