Yes — Medicare covers 100% of hospice care for eligible patients. This benefit includes all services, medications, medical equipment, and supplies related to the terminal illness, as long as care is provided by a Medicare-certified hospice agency like Salus Hospice.
Families typically have no out-of-pocket costs for covered hospice services. That means visits from nurses, home health aides, social workers, chaplains, volunteers, and bereavement support are all included. Crisis care and inpatient care for pain or symptom management, as well as respite care for family caregivers, are also covered under Medicare’s hospice benefit.
At Salus Hospice, we help families throughout Southern California understand their benefits and receive compassionate, high-quality care without financial stress.
