How hospice admission may work
Hospice admission generally begins with a referral or request for information. The hospice team can discuss the patient’s situation, review eligibility considerations, coordinate with physicians, explain services, and help with consent and care planning when hospice is appropriate.
The process may involve medical records, physician certification, medication review, equipment needs, supplies, and communication with the care setting.
