What hospice benefits are available for veterans?

Veterans have access to several hospice benefit pathways. If you are enrolled in the VA healthcare system, you may receive hospice care covered entirely by the VA. Veterans who live far from VA facilities or prefer community-based care may be eligible for hospice through the VA's Community Care program, often administered through TriWest.

Medicare-eligible veterans can also use the Medicare Hospice Benefit, which covers 100% of hospice services with no out-of-pocket costs. Some veterans may qualify for both VA and Medicare hospice benefits simultaneously, which can provide even more comprehensive support.

We are experienced in working with veteran patients and understand that many carry unique emotional and psychological burdens related to military service. Our social workers and chaplains are trained to acknowledge and honor these experiences. If you are a veteran or caring for one, call us and we will help identify the right benefit pathway and ensure your coverage is maximized.
