Eligibility & Coverage
Navigating end-of-life care decisions can be overwhelming. That’s why at Health Watch, we strive to make understanding eligibility and coverage as clear and straightforward as possible.
Eligibility Criteria:
To be eligible for hospice care with Health Watch, there are two primary criteria:
Life Expectancy: A physician must diagnose and confirm that the patient has a life expectancy of six months or less. This doesn’t mean hospice care will only last for six months; it is an estimation, and care can continue as long as the individual’s condition remains appropriate.
Care Decision: The individual must make an informed choice to seek comfort care and support, prioritizing quality of life over curative or aggressive treatments for their life-limiting illness. This decision often involves discussions with loved ones and medical professionals.
Coverage Information:
We believe that financial concerns shouldn’t be an additional burden during this crucial time. Hence, Health Watch works diligently to ensure patients can access the care they need:
Medicare: If you’re a beneficiary, Medicare covers hospice services under its Hospice Benefit. This includes physician services, nursing care, medications related to the illness, medical equipment, and supplies, bereavement counseling, and more.
Medicaid: In many states, hospice benefits under Medicaid are parallel to the Medicare benefits, covering a wide range of services essential for end-of-life care.
Private Insurance: Most private insurance plans offer hospice benefits. Coverage specifics may vary, so it’s essential to review your policy or contact your provider for detailed information. Our team at Health Watch can also assist in clarifying your benefits.
Uninsured or Financial Hardships: If you lack insurance or face financial difficulties, don’t let this deter you from seeking hospice care. Reach out to our team to discuss payment options and any available assistance programs. Our commitment is to support families and patients, irrespective of their financial circumstances.
Choose Comfort. Choose Dignity. Choose Health Watch.
At Health Watch, our primary concern is ensuring every individual receives the care they deserve. We’re here to guide and support you through every step, making the process as seamless as possible.
