Current Costs of Care:
As the costs of health care in our country rise exponentially, reimbursement rates from Medicare or MediCal fall further behind the true expenses of hospice care. Hospice includes expert care from a skilled team of specialists: physicians, nurses, medical social workers, chaplains, home health aides and grief and loss therapists. Moreover, necessary medical equipment and the many medications needed to keep a patient free of pain and comfortable are also rising in cost. |
