Medicare coverage of hospice care depends upon a physician's certification of an individual's prognosis of a life expectancy of six (6) months or less if the terminal illness runs its normal course. Recognizing that determination of life expectancy during the normal course of a terminal illness is difficult, these criteria form a reasonable approach to the determination of life expectancy based on available research and may be revised as more research becomes available.
