While a person in hospice is not expected to live more than six months, there is no expiration of his term under hospice care. It can last well over a year. And sometimes people go in and out of hospice care.

It depends on how much you can afford to spend. Hospital coverage is part of Medicare Part A. The first 60 days are covered with a deductible of $1,132. Days 61-90 will cost $283 per day. Days 91-150 will cost $566 per day. And then you are responsible for all costs after that.

If you have Medicare supplement insurance the majority of these costs would be covered.
