Your Insurance Will Likely Cover The Cost Of Palliative Care
Most insurance plans, including Medicare and Medicaid, cover palliative care services. These services are handled like other medical services, such as oncology or cardiology.
Getting Palliative Care Is Easy. Just Ask For It.
You may already have been referred to a palliative care team, but if not, it’s important to ask your doctor for a referral. The Supportive Hospice Care teams work together with primary physicians, so individuals do not have to give up their own doctors.
