When Private-Pay May Be Used
In some situations, patients or families may choose to pay privately for room and board at The Connecticut Hospice. This may occur when insurance coverage is limited, when a patient does not qualify for federal insurance programs, or when families prefer not to delay care while coverage questions are resolved.
Private-pay arrangements allow patients to access care promptly in a serene, supportive setting.
What Private-Pay Covers
Private-pay room and board reflects the cost of hospital-based care, accommodations, and around-the-clock clinical support. All services have established fees, and our team is available to review costs clearly and transparently. Each situation is reviewed individually with care, respect, and discretion.
Our Commitment to Care
Financial considerations should never stand in the way of compassionate care. Our team works closely with patients and families to explore all available options, including insurance coverage, eligibility for public programs, and private-pay arrangements when needed.
Interest-free payment plans may be arranged to help ease financial strain and provide flexibility during a challenging time.
