Hospice is much more than medical care... Hospice is much more than just care at the end of life. It is a beneficial and crucial solution for individuals and their families who are facing the complexities of a serious illness. Patients with a short life expectancy need more than just the right medications. They also need emotional and spiritual care to address fears and anxiety. They need education to know what to expect and to plan for the future. And they need the physical support that can only be provided by hospice professionals.

How is Hospice paid for? Hospice Care is available to all, the ability to pay will never be a barrier... Hospice is an inclusive Medicare Part A benefit, meaning that all services related to terminal illness are covered up to 100%. Hospice care is also covered by Medicaid and most employer-provided healthcare plans. However, at VIA Health Partners, ability to pay will not be a barrier to receiving needed care. Thanks to generous community support, and our non-profit mission, our services are available to anyone in our community who needs us. For individuals enrolled in Medicare, hospice is a benefit that they are entitled to have. The Hospice Medicare Benefit completely covers the cost of all hospice services, medical equipment, supplies, and medications related to the hospice diagnosis as long as these items are included in the hospice plan of care.

Understand the importance of Advance Care Directives with VIA Health Partners. Learn how to plan your care decisions and ensure your wishes are honored. Advance Care Planning Honoring the wishes of your loved one. Advance care directives provide clarity for when the time comes to use them. Advance Directive Health Care Power of Attorney Advance Directive for a Natural Death (Living Will) Do Not Resuscitate (DNR) Medical Orders for Scope of Treatment (MOST) Physician Orders for Scope of Treatment (POST) Additional Resources More Available 24/7 • 365 Days a Year • Call Us Anytime: 833.839.1113 Advance Directive Advance Directive When the time comes, advance directives help honor the wishes of your loved one... An advance directive is a legal document that outlines choices about being kept alive by artificial means when suffering from a terminal illness, permanent brain damage, or advanced dementia. Such documents are utilized when we lose decision-making capacity. While many of us have strong opinions about whether we would like to receive these types of treatments in an attempt to keep us alive, few of us actually take the steps to ensure that our wishes are honored. Studies have found that most of us would refuse to be kept alive by artificial means if we have dementia or a terminal illness*. Studies have also found that only 50% of terminally ill patients execute advance directives**. However, there are several easily completed documents that will allow loved ones to understand a patient's wishes regarding end-of-life care, even if the patient lacks decision-making capacity. The state of North Carolina recognizes two advance directive documents. Revised in 2007, they are the Heath Care Power of Attorney and the Living Will. These documents are legal when they are completed by an individual with decision-making capacity, signed by two witnesses, and notarized. There are also two medical orders recognized by North Carolina. They are the Do Not Resuscitate (DNR) and Medical Orders for Scope of Treatment (MOST) forms. These forms are obtained from the physician or healthcare provider. Health Care Power of Attorney Health Care Power of Attorney The Health Care Power of Attorney allows a person to name someone to make healthcare decisions for them, should the person be unable to communicate their wishes. Advance Directive for a Natural Death (Living Will) Advance Directive for a Natural Death (Living Will) The Living Will should be used as instructions for the future for anyone who would like their healthcare providers to withhold or withdraw life-prolonging measures in certain situations. There is no legal requirement that anyone execute a living will. Do Not Resuscitate (DNR) Do Not Resuscitate (DNR) The DNR form is a medical order that communicates a person’s desire to forgo cardiopulmonary resuscitation should their heart stop beating and they stop breathing. It is utilized outside the hospital setting, and is bright yellow with a red stop sign in the middle. Medical Orders for Scope of Treatment (MOST) Medical Orders for Scope of Treatment (MOST) In North Carolina the MOST form is a medical order that describes a patient's end-of-life plan of care. It is intended for patients experiencing a terminal illness with a prognosis of less than one year. Since it is a medical order, any physician in any setting can follow the orders. It is also bright pink so that it can be easily identified. Physician Orders for Scope of Treatment (POST) Physician Orders for Scope of Treatment (POST) In South Carolina a POST form is a designated document designed for use as part of Advance Care Planning (ACP) and consists of a set of medical orders signed by a patient’s physician addressing key medical decisions consistent with patient goals of care concerning treatment at the end-of-life that is portable and valid across health care settings. A POST form should be completed by a trained facilitator or qualified health care professional in conversation with the patient.
