Hospice services are covered under which Medicare part?

Medicare Part C

Medicare Part D

Hospice care is a Part A benefit. Part A covers inpatient hospital care, skilled nursing facility care, home health, and hospice services. Hospice focuses on comfort and quality of life for a terminal illness and is funded through Part A, with coverage for the interdisciplinary team, skilled services, and related drugs for symptom management. Part D is for prescription medications, not hospice benefits; Part B covers outpatient services, and Part C (Medicare Advantage) bundles A and B (and sometimes D). So hospice services fall under Part A.

Medicare Part B

Medicare Part A
