No trilogy in hospice

[Marmardu]

The hospice org we were going to use has said that they will not support my husband’s trilogy, that they see it as a ventilator. Anyone else run into this roadblock?

My husband uses the trilogy and is on hospice. Try contacting other hospices.

Yes. I called 2 services. One is OK with trilogy, the other one not.
Any hospice can decide what they support i.e. pay for as comfort care and what not. They don't get very much $$$ per month for their services.

The other thing that I did not know about is that the same is true for medications. It's not a given that certain medications will be paid for by them.

Luckily people warned me about that. We are in the process (just about finishing up) to get all medical equipment that we want for Medicare to pay.
