Great suggestion, @debbraw I know each hospice organization is different, but the only caveat I would add to this for @pattyinal is to be sure to check with her hospice, insurance, etc. very carefully on any costs on this. In our case my wife's hospice care was only covered after it was officially prescribed by her physician. Then once prescribed be certain your choice is 'in network'.

I only bring this up as a cautionary tale given that I am continuing to pay down what was over $40,000 in uncovered expenses from early on with our hospice.

Wow @IndianaScott - That is terrible that you have that kind of residual bills - and from Hospice. I had no idea. Thank you so much for raising this issue.
