Hospice care is an elective coverage under Medicare Part A and the Iowa Medicaid benefit. Many private insurance companies also have a hospice benefit.

The generous memorials and donations of friends, family, and businesses help pay for patient expenses that may exceed the amount received from Medicare, Medicaid, and Private Insurance.
