What medications are paid for by Rainbow Hospice and Palliative Care?
Rainbow Hospice pays for medications that are used to control pain and symptoms related to the terminal diagnosis. For example, if a patient has lung cancer that causes pain and shortness of breath, Rainbow Hospice pays for medication to control the pain and shortness of breath. If that same patient also has diabetes, Rainbow Hospice would not pay for his or her Insulin, since diabetes is not the terminal illness. During the admission process and after consultation with Rainbow Hospices pharmacist and Medical Director, the Rainbow Hospice nurse reviews with patients and their families what medications are covered.
