Learn what most insurance companies cover for hospice care

As we age, we may face illnesses that require medical intervention and support. In cases where the condition is terminal, hospice care is a popular option to help manage the symptoms and ensure the comfort of the patient when treatments are no longer viable. Hospice is designed to provide compassionate and comprehensive care for patients with terminal illnesses and supplement the work of a family caregiver. But when it’s time to think about medical care, many people are left asking, “how much does hospice cost?” If you’re concerned about paying for hospice and insurance coverage, Agape Hospice NW is here for you.

All of our staff members, from the Medical Director to Registered Nurses, Case Managers, and even Social Workers must meet aggressive requirements for patient education, medication management, infection control, as well as psychological and emotional assessment and support.
