Hospice in Medical Billing
Hospice is a type of care provided to patients with terminal illnesses, focusing on comfort rather than curative treatment.
Hospice in Medical Billing Explained
In medical billing, hospice care is typically covered by Medicare, Medicaid, and private insurance. Billing for hospice services includes a range of care, such as pain management, symptom control, and emotional support. Certain services not related to the terminal condition are billed separately using modifiers.
For example, a hospice provider bills Medicare for palliative care services provided to a patient with advanced cancer.
