Miller Hospice care is fully covered by Medicare, Medicaid and most private insurances, in which case patients pay nothing… ever.
Miller Hospice care is provided by your hospice team based upon what is called a “plan of care.” That plan will determine the number of visits based on YOUR needs as a patient and your family. The physical, emotional, and spiritual care that is associated with your hospice diagnosis is covered under Medicare and Medicaid.
Medicare
Covers all services
Medications
Medical supplies and medical equipment
Includes routine home care, general inpatient care, respite care, and continuous care
If Medicare is being billed for hospice care, patients can still bill Medicare Part A for any unrelated and pre-existing issues
People over the age of 65 who are entitled to the services offered by the Medicare Hospice Benefit are fully covered for all of the care related to the terminal illness (and related illness) that is determined medically necessary by the hospice physician. Miller Hospice is a Medicare Certified Agency.
Private Insurance
If patients do not qualify for Medicare or Medicaid, private insurance will often cover the associated expenses
Miller Hospice works with a large and growing number of insurers
Referrals require prior authorization for hospice services, with which Miller Hospice can help
No one is denied service because of race, color, religion, gender, age, national origin, disability, diagnosis, or inability to pay for services provided
