How To Pay For A Pediatric Hospice

How do I pay for pediatric hospice?

Pediatric hospice care is usually covered by most insurance plans. So, if you talk to your insurance plan that's been providing care in the hospital, you can discuss with them the possibility of hospice and what they will pay. Most of them are very willing to make adjustments, even in your plan, if you don't have that benefit. They may be willing to write that in to cover your child's hospice care. Many states have additional plans for children who have terminal illnesses. Please talk to the social worker in your hospital or the financial counselors in your hospital to see if your child may be eligible for any state plans that they have that will provide additional financial support, in order to pay for pediatric hospice.
