Can a hospice patient who shows signs of recovery return to regular treatment?
Yes, it’s their right. If the patient’s condition improves or the disease moves into remission, the patient can be discharged and return to curative therapy and normal daily life. If the patient should need to return to hospice care again, Medicare and most private insurance providers will allow additional coverage.
