Revenue model

1. Medicare Hospice Benefit: Hospice care is reimbursed by a flat daily payment under Medicare. Services include team-based symptom management for people with terminal illness who have decided against curative treatment. Care is covered for the terminal illness and related conditions.
2. Medicare Advantage Plans: Hospice services covered by all Medicare Advantage programs. Care Partners participates in the Regence VBID pilot program offering Transitional Concurrent Care (TCC) allowing continuation of some curative treatments for first 30 days of hospice enrollment.
3. Private Insurance: Most private insurers cover hospice care. Palliative care coverage is limited and currently offered through Regence and Health Net plans in the Portland area.
4. Medicaid: Oregon Medicaid covers hospice care services.
5. Donations and Community Support: As a nonprofit organization, community donations fund exceptional care and help people with terminal illness who may need additional support beyond insurance-covered services.
6. Legacy Giving (The Grove): Planned giving program allowing donors to include Care Partners in their estate plans through gifts in wills, trusts, beneficiary designations on IRAs and retirement plans, life insurance policies, and commercial annuities.

• Oregon Non-Profit Hospice Alliance (ONHA)coreStrategic or Co-development Partner · 1 January 2018ONHA is a registered nonprofit founded in 2018 by four hospices (including Care Partners) with service areas covering about half the counties in Oregon. The alliance supports member organizations by sharing best practices, expertise, and resources, leveraging combined purchasing power, and developing partnerships with healthcare providers, institutions, and payers. A key benefit is the ability to share the nonprofit difference with patients, payers, and providers while reducing administrative costs so more revenue goes to patient care.
