Hospice of Warren County accepts Medicare and Medicaid coverage as payment in full for Hospice services. Most private insurers also cover our services. We do not refuse care to someone based on his or her lack of insurance or inability to pay. The scope of Hospice services is defined by the Medicare Hospice Benefit.
