Who pays for Hospice Services

The good news is Medicare and most private insurance include a Hospice benefit. Our Hospice also does not turn anyone away for an inability to pay. The reimbursements we receive from those insurances, however, do not cover the cost to us to provide the care.

Hospice of Central New York & of the Finger Lakes relies on donations from our community to meet that gap. On average, our Agency is left with a significant deficit each year where reimbursements don’t meet the cost of care. We look to close that gap each year through fundraising events, appeals, memorial donations, and corporation and foundation support.

To have a Hospice in your community, you must have support from the community. Gratefully, Hospice of Central New York & of the Finger Lakes will celebrate its 40th anniversary in 2025 thanks to that generosity.
