Yes, when a Medicare number ends with "M," it indicates that the beneficiary is eligible for Medicare coverage, including hospice services. Medicare Part A covers hospice care for beneficiaries who meet specific criteria, such as being terminally ill and opting for palliative care rather than curative treatment. It's essential for patients and caregivers to ensure that hospice providers are Medicare-certified to receive full benefits.

Medicare Part A primarily covers inpatient hospital stays, skilled nursing facility care, hospice care, and some home health services. However, it does not cover routine childbirth or maternity care. For maternity-related services, individuals typically rely on Medicare Part B or private insurance plans. If you are pregnant and have Medicare, it’s important to discuss your coverage options with your healthcare provider.
How long does Medicare pay for Hospice care?
This is directly from the Medicare and You 2009 book concerning Hospice Care: For people with a terminal illness who are expected to live 6 months or less (as certified by a doctor). Coverage may include drugs (for pain relief and symptom management), medical, nursing, social services, and other covered services as well as services not usually covered by Medicare (like grief counseling). Hospice care is usually given in your home (or other facility like a nursing home) by a Medicare-approved hospice. Medicare covers some short-term inpatient stays (for pain and symptom management that requires an inpatient stay) in a Medicare-approved facility, such as a hospice facility, hospital, or skilled nursing facility. Medicare also covers inpatient respite care (care given to a hospice patient so that the usual caregiver can rest). You can stay in a Medicare-approved facility up to 5 days each time you get respite care. Medicare may pay for covered services for health problems that aren't related to your terminal illness. You can continue to get hospice care as long as the hospice medical director or hospice doctor recertifies that you are terminally ill.
