Sending comfort-care orders to Lourdes Hospice

Durable medical equipment orders at Lourdes Hospice
A DME order for Lourdes Hospice routes to the hospice care team, which arranges delivery with the equipment vendor. The hospice covers equipment related to the terminal diagnosis as part of the plan of care, so the order names the item and the clinical need. Address the cover sheet to the hospice care team so the equipment order is not treated as routine paperwork.
