Hospice Levels of Care

Routine home care

A day the patient elects to get hospice care at home and isn’t getting continuous home care. A patient’s home might be a home, a skilled nursing facility (SNF), or an assistedliving facility. Routine home care is the level of care provided when the patient isn’t in crisis

Inpatient respite care

A day the patient elects to get hospice care at home and isn’t getting continuous home care. A patient’s home might be a home, a skilled nursing facility (SNF), or an assistedliving facility. Routine home care is the level of care provided when the patient isn’t in crisis

Continuous home care

Patients can also get hospice aide, homemaker services, or both on a continuous basis. Hospice patients can get continuous home care only during brief periods of crisis and only as needed to maintain the patient at home

General inpatient care

A day the patient elects hospice care in an inpatient facility for pain control or acute or chronic symptom management, which can’t be managed in other settings

Drugs & Biologicals Coinsurance

Hospices provide drugs and biologicals to lessen and manage pain and symptoms of a patient’s terminal illness and related conditions. For each hospice-related palliative drug and biological prescription

The coinsurance amount is 5% of the cost of the drug or biological to the hospice, determined by the drug copayment schedule set by the hospice. The coinsurance for each prescription may not be more than $5.00
