How to pay for hospice care

Hospice care at Pallatus is often fully covered by Medicare, Medi-Cal, and private insurance. Most families have little to no out-of-pocket costs, allowing you to focus on what matters most-comfort, dignity, and time with loved ones.

Medicare and the cost of hospice

To qualify for Medicare-covered hospice care, a patient must be enrolled in Medicare Part A and have a doctor certify a life expectancy of six months or less.

Private insurance & Medi-Cal coverage

Most private insurance policies and Medi-Cal cover hospice care. For long-term care needs, ALTCS (Arizona Long Term Care System) may provide additional support for room and board. We'll help verify your benefits.

Medicare Beneficiary Identifier (MBI)

Since 2020, Medicare uses a new identifier instead of Social Security numbers. Your Medicare Beneficiary Identifier (MBI) is required for all hospice services.
