Hospice Care and Home Ownership: No Property Seizure
Hospice does not take your house as payment. Hospice care is covered by:
- Medicare Hospice Benefit (Part A)
- Medicaid (state-dependent)
- Most private insurance plans
- VA benefits for veterans
These benefits cover medications, equipment, supplies, and interdisciplinary team services related to the terminal diagnosis. Room and board in a nursing facility are not covered unless under general inpatient or respite care. Patients and families should discuss coverage details with the hospice admissions team.
