Who Pays for Hospice Care?

• The Medicare Hospice Benefit covers the full cost of hospice care including a hospice team to help take care of you.
• Colorado Medicaid has a hospice benefit for patients who qualify for regular Medicaid benefits. Colorado Medicaid pays for the same hospice services as Medicare. In addition, room and board in a skilled care facility or assisted living community may be covered through Medicaid.
• In most cases, private insurance plans provide a hospice benefit. Deductibles, co-pays and limits of coverage are set by your individual policy. Elevation Hospice Care of Colorado admissions department will verify your eligibility for hospice care under your private insurance policy and advise you of any limits that may apply.
