05: Financial Aspects of Hospice

Published: Aug. 25, 2020, 12:35 p.m.

In this episode, Tracy is again joined by Tim Heath, Chief Strategy Officer at Alleo Health to continue their conversation about misconceptions about hospice care and the financial impact it has on families. Their conversation covered:

  • Tim looks back at his time as a social worker and wishing he had known more about how talking about hospice care was actually delivering good news (1:27)
  • Does Medicaid, Medicare or private insurance cover hospice care (3:12)
  • Hospice is an extra layer of support and expresses compassion (6:36)
  • Providing daily phone calls to check-in and provide the extra touch of care 7:52

We\u2019re thankful that Tim found his niche with us and we\u2019re looking forward to even more conversations in the future with him.
