Hospice is comfort-focused care for people with a terminal illness who choose it; Medicare covers it when doctors certify a life expectancy of 6 months or less and the person chooses comfort care instead of curative treatment. Palliative care focuses on symptom relief at any stage of serious illness and is not the same as hospice. CMS hospice data not loaded yet.Not sure which type of care?
