Five for Friday, Episode 054, Hospice Compare

Hospice Compare is a new online resource provided by Medicare.gov that can assist you in making an informed decision when you're needing to choose a hospice provider.   The information listed on the website is based on surveys that are submitted electronically to Medicare from people whose loved ones have actually received services, as well as information that the hospice agency provides.  For each agency listed, you can find information on Patient Preferences, and Managing and Treating Symptoms.   Always remember that you have the right to choose the agency that’s going to be a good fit for you, or your loved one.   You can visit the Hospice Compare website by following this link, https://www.medicare.gov/hospicecompare/#
