Does Medicare HMO will cover hospice cover

Hospice Care if You’re in a Medicare Advantage Plan
All Medicare-covered services you get while in hospice care are covered under Original Medicare, even if you’re in a Medicare Advantage Plan (like an HMO or PPO) or other Medicare health plan. A Medicare Advantage Plan is a type of Medicare health plan offered by a private company that contracts with Medicare to provide you with all your Medicare Part A and Part B benefits. However, if your plan covers extra services not covered by Original Medicare (like dental and vision benefits), then your plan will continue to cover you for these extra services. If you choose to stay in your Medicare Advantage Plan while getting hospice care, you must continue to pay your plan’s monthly premium.
