Medicare-Covered Hospice Care: An Overview of the Basics

This video covers how to choose hospice care under Medicare, what's covered, the costs, and how to switch back to curative care if needed.

Knowing how hospice care works can make your decision easier and less scary. In this video, we explain how to choose hospice care over curative care under Medicare, what services are covered by the Medicare hospice benefit and at what cost, and how to choose curative care if hospice care no longer feels right.
