Our September Dinner Meeting, “Hospice 101” will help every Spokane Estate Planning Council member understand what hospice services are and how estate planners can work with their clients who may need hospice care for themselves (or family members) in the future. The discussion will include a detailed discussion of insurance considerations (Medicare, Medicaid, third party insurance and HMOs) including what insurance coverage's exist (or might not exist). SEPC members will receive information on the importance of planning for potential hospice services as part of a well-rounded estate plan.
