FAQ
Frequently asked questions
from our community
Is Hospice right for me?
At any time during a life-limiting illness, it’s appropriate to discuss all of a patient’s care options, including hospice. By law, the decision belongs to the patient or their surrogate decision maker. Most hospices accept patients who have a life-expectancy of six months or less and who are referred by a physician. The team at Hospice of Missoula is always available to discuss any questions or concerns you or your family may have regarding eligibility.
Should I wait for our physician?
Patients and families should feel free to discuss hospice care at any time with their physician, other health care professionals, clergy or friends. Most physicians are fully informed about hospice. If you or your physician would like more information on our our services, Hospice of Missoula has staff available 24-hours a day to answer any questions.
How do I request care?
Hospice of Missoula staff is available 24-hours a day to assist you through the admissions process. During this time, we outline the many services available the patient and provide consent and insurance forms similar to what a patient may sign when entering a hospital.
How do I pay for hospice care?
Hospice is paid for through the Medicare Hospice Benefit, Medicaid Hospice Benefit, and most private insurers. If a person does not have coverage through Medicare, Medicaid or a private insurance company, hospice will work with the person and their family to ensure needed services can be provided. We provide services to everyone in need regardless of their ability to pay.
