All patients must be eligible for the Hospice Benefit to be admitted to Clarissa C. Cook Hospice House. Medical eligibility is determined by the patient’s physician and the Hospice Interdisciplinary Team.

Generally, a MercyOne Genesis Hospice Admission Nurse will evaluate the patient’s individual needs and situation to help determine which services provided by MercyOne Genesis Hospice are necessary in the best interest of the patient and family.

Cost

There are three "levels of care" provided at the Hospice House with varying degrees of insurance coverage. While most costs are paid for by Medicare, Medicaid and other providers, there may be a Room and Board cost that is the responsibility of the patient and family. Benefit coverage is reviewed with the patient and family upon consideration for admission into the Hospice Program and the Hospice House. Financial counseling is available for insurance questions and concerns.
