Frequently Asked Questions

Who pays for the patient's DME (Durable Medical Equipment) while in a nursing facility?

This depends upon the patient’s insurance coverage. In most cases, Mercy Hospice will pay for basic durable medical equipment that is pre-approved by hospice, medically necessary, and related to the hospice diagnosis.
