Six months
Hospice care is a form of care that offers care for people who are near death. The majority of hospice patients die within one to two weeks. However, a few patients are able to live for longer periods of time. According to the National Institutes of Health Hospice programs only a small percentage of patients survive beyond six months. This is despite the fact that there is no clear reason for it.

Hospice care encompasses a range services that include inpatient care for the terminally ill, counseling, pain control, and symptom treatment. Medicare reimburses hospices for a fixed daily amount. This payment covers the cost of hospice care regardless of how many services are received. The Medicare payment plan includes four base payments per day for different categories.
One year
Hospice care can last for a year or more. Most patients are admitted as they near the end. Hospice aims to make the transition to death as painless and easy as possible. This is achieved by developing individualized care plans for patients. Each plan addresses the individual needs of each patient and aims at relieving both physical and emotional pain. It helps patients set their lives in order, and makes their final stage of life meaningful.

Hospice care is a holistic option for patients who need end-oflife care. This alternative to hospitalization is available for patients who are unable to bear the stress of ongoing treatment. Hospices have the best medical technology available and are able to provide care for patients with special needs. Also, the Affordable Care Act 2010 (ACA), requires hospices to publish quality measures regarding the services they provide. These measures must be endorsed by a quality measure consensus-based entity and must be published no later than October 1, 2012. These measures must be reported to CMS beginning October 1, 2013. CMS contracted with state-based quality improvement organizations to develop several hospice and palliative care quality measures. One example is the CARE measure.

Despite the belief that hospice is the fastest route to death, research has shown that hospice can actually prolong your life. A recent study by the National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization revealed that patients in hospice lived an average 29 days longer than nonhospice patients. These results refuted the belief that hospice causes death and showed that hospice can actually prolong life. The hospice providers are also increasingly considering the patient's goals in order to ensure that their therapies do not compromise the quality of life.
It has been more than five decades
Hospice may not be right for everyone. In fact, around 30 percent Medicare beneficiaries are placed in hospice for less than six month. It is also important that you understand the motives behind hospice services. Two doctors must be able to certify that a patient has a shorter life expectancy than six months before they can enter hospice. But, sometimes doctors are wrong. A study by James B. Nelson showed that doctors could be wrong about a patient's prognosis.
