Finding a Hospice Program
To find a hospice program, talk to your doctor, or call your state hospice organization. See pages 14–15 for the telephone number in your area. The hospice program you choose must be Medicare-approved to get Medicare payment. To find out if a certain hospice program is Medicare-approved, ask your doctor, the hospice program, your state hospice organization, or your state health department.
