Medicare, Iowa Medicaid and many private insurance companies provide for the funding for hospice services. Medicare and Iowa Medicaid pay Hospice of Siouxland a daily rate to provide hospice services. This daily rate is established by Medicare and Medicaid and covers the following services:

• Interdisciplinary team services
• Medications for pain and symptom management of the illness
• Medical equipment
• Medical supplies
• Outpatient services
• Inpatient care for pain and symptom management
• Respite care for relief of caregivers

Private insurance coverage varies by individual plans.

No one is denied Hospice services based on their insurance or financial circumstances. Contributions to Hospice of Siouxland allow us to provide service regardless of a patient's ability to pay for services. Contributions also assist in funding our bereavement program.
