Wis. ForwardHealth Online Handbook, Hospice, Topic #1162
A Comprehensive Overview
Hospice care provides services for people who are terminally ill and for their family members. Hospice care is designed to:
• Emphasize living one's remaining days as fully as possible.
• Affirm life and neither hasten nor postpone death.
• Provide relief from the physical and emotional pain that often accompanies a terminal illness.
• Provide patient-directed care for the terminally ill member and family.
• Provide grief support to the surviving family.
Wis. Admin. Code § DHS 107.31(2)(a), defines hospice services as those services provided to an eligible member by a provider
enrolled under Wis. Admin. Code § DHS 105.50 which are necessary for the palliation and management of terminal illness and
related conditions. These services include supportive care provided to the family and other individuals caring for the terminally ill
member.
