When patients are faced with a terminal condition, choices for care are limited. Nurses Plus Hospice offers an alternative form of care by working closely with physicians to provide palliative and end of life care.
Patients may be eligible for hospice care if:
The patient's Attending Physician nd Medical Director/ Hospice Physician certifies that the patient has a limited life expectancy of 6 months or less if the terminal illness runs its normal course.
Hospice care is selected by patient or the patient's legal representative if the patient is incapable of making healthcare decisions.
Hospice care is covered by most insurance plans including Medicare (Part A), Medi-Cal and private payors with some, or no out of pocket cost to the patient.
