Hospice care is a special way of caring for a patient who’s faced with a terminal illness. It is available as a benefit under Medicare Hospital Insurance (Part A). Medicare beneficiaries who choose hospice care receive non-curative medical and support services for their terminal illness. The costs of Northwest Ohio hospice care are minimal. Hospice care is available for individuals who live in Medicaid-reimbursed nursing facilities. Under these circumstances, Medicare Part A will pay the hospice program for the palliative care. The Ohio state Medicaid agency will pay the hospice program a daily rate for the hospice patient’s room and board; the hospice program must then reimburse the nursing facility for the room and board.
