Hospice brings with it new concerns for caregivers, but one thing you don’t need to worry about is how you’ll get your loved one’s medical supplies. In almost all cases, the hospice service provider will supply the medical equipment needed for hospice. Also, most insurance plans cover the costs of hospice care and the medical equipment it requires.
Our team at Dignity wants you to have all the information you need about hospice care and the availability of medical supplies. Below, we explain this important part of hospice care and answer some of the most common questions our families have.

Who Pays for These Medical Supplies?
Most of our families or patients do not pay out-of-pocket for hospice supplies, medication, or equipment. Many insurance plans, including Medicare and Medicaid plans, cover hospice care costs in full. That coverage includes the costs of medications, medical supplies, and equipment necessary for in-home hospice care.
