In the US, hospices are paid in the same manner as hospitals, nursing homes, and home care.
Depending on the patient's or family's type of insurance and financial ability to self-pay, health
care first would use in this order: Self-pay, then Private Insurance, then Federal Medicare, then State Medicaid. IF one of these is not available (for example, the patient has no ability to pay), it skips to the next source in the list. There may be co-pays for Private Insurance, Federal Medicare, or State Medicare; co-pays vary by State and by income. The patient or patient's family are required to pay the co-pays. Also, under State Medicaid, a family may be required to sign over the patient's assets (example: their home).
