Debunking Common Myths About Hospice Care: One common misconception is that hospice care is not covered by managed care organizations (MCOs). In reality, while MCOs are not required to include hospice coverage, Medicare beneficiaries can utilize their Medicare hospice benefit whenever and wherever they choose. 🏥💙 You are not restricted by the end-of-life services offered by MCOs. For those under 65, coverage can vary as you may be limited to the services provided by your MCO. However, many MCOs do offer at least some level of hospice coverage.
