  • A physician must certify that he or she would not be surprised if the patient were to pass away within the next 6 months.
  • Patient must be willing to forego curative treatments in favor of treatments that promote comfort and quality of life.

  • Medicare, Medicaid and most insurances will cover 100% of hospice services.
  • No one will be turned away due to an inability to pay.
