ForApproval Hospice Works With Medicare

Most people call hospice when there are days left. Your clients deserve better than that. 💙 In this episode, we sit down with a real hospice nurse to break down everything Medicare agents need to know about hospice care so you can show up as the most informed, most trusted person in the room when your clients need it most. Here's what we cover 👇 ✅ What hospice actually is — and when clients truly qualify ✅ The 6-month rule and why most families wait way too long ✅ The difference between palliative care vs. hospice care ✅ The 3 levels of hospice care — inpatient, routine, and respite ✅ What Medicare covers — and what it doesn't ✅ Why you should NEVER pull a client off their Medicare Advantage plan just because they're entering hospice ✅ How medications, equipment, and a hospital bed are covered and delivered to the home ✅ Respite care — what it is, how long it lasts, and why families need to know ✅ What happens when a client's health improves on hospice ✅ The hospice benefit period structure — 90 days, 90 days, then unlimited 60-day periods 💡 This isn't just education — this is the kind of knowledge that makes clients trust you for life. ⚠️ Disclaimer: This content is for educational and informational purposes only and reflects Medicare guidelines at the time of recording.
