Will medicare pay when hospice service given other POS

Will the Benefit pay for hospice care in a place
other than a personal residence?

Sometimes a patient does not or cannot reside in a
private home. The Benefit reimburses for hospice
services that are delivered in freestanding hospice
facilities, hospitals, and nursing homes and other longterm
care facilities. However, the Benefit does not
cover expenses for room and board. In some
instances, Medicaid may cover these expenses for eligible
patients. For benefits available under Medicaid,
consult your state Medicaid office.
