Eligibility

Hospice eligibility is determined when a terminally-ill patient’s attending physician certifies the patient has a limited life expectancy of six months or less, and the patient makes a decision to discontinue aggressive cure-oriented treatments and focus on comfort and quality of life. Iowa City Hospice is a not-for-profit, community-based provider, and no one who needs care is turned away. Services are paid through Medicare, Medicaid, private health insurance and community financial support. Services for bereaved individuals—support groups, educational programs, resources and referrals—are available to anyone who resides in Iowa City Hospice’s seven-county service area, regardless of whether the person who died was a hospice patient.
