How to choose a hospice?

Medicare has a very firm criteria that Medi-cal and private insurances follow to establish hospice eligibility.

• The patient has a terminal illness with a life expectancy of six months or less.  This applies to all illnesses.
• Comfort care and symptom management become the primary focus.
• Curative treatment is no longer the patient/family choice or option.

Who pays for hospice?

Hospice is a service covered under Medicare and Medi-cal, the Veterans Administration and most private insurances.  EZ Comfort Hospice Care does not charge a deductible or co-pay.

EZ Comfort Hospice Care will help you determine your eligibility under a plan, and will handle the admission and qualification paperwork.
