If the patient is not covered by Medicare, Medicaid or some other insurance, will Hospice of Southern WV still provide care?
Yes. While Hospice of Southern WV will assist families in awareness of available coverage, we will not turn away patients who are unable to pay and will not bill families following the patient’s passing. There are some instances where room and board at the Bowers Hospice House are applicable on a sliding fee schedule, but these potential fees and their circumstances are discussed with patients’ families during assessment and admission. No patients are turned away from our hospice for inability to pay.
