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 NW 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 NW Ohio hospice patient’s room and board; the NW Ohio hospice program must then reimburse the NW Ohio nursing facility for the room and board.
We bring our care to NW Ohio. Erie West Hospice and Palliative Care believes that it is your choice, your decision, your life.
