What this bill does
In plain words · AI-written from the official summaryHospitals must share hospice care information
When a patient is leaving a hospital and qualifies for hospice care through Medicare, the hospital has to give them information about hospice providers available in their area. Hospice care is a type of medical care that focuses on comfort and quality of life for people with serious illnesses.
How it affects you
If you or a loved one qualifies for Medicare hospice care and are being discharged from a hospital, you'll receive information about local hospice options as part of the discharge process. This gives you better access to choices about end-of-life care options in your community.
