However, services for an unrelated condition or injury, such as a broken bone or unrelated diabetes, are still covered as a regular TRICARE benefit. TRICARE does not cover room and board unless the patient is receiving inpatient or respite care. Patients cannot receive other TRICARE services or benefits (curative treatments related to the terminal illness) unless the hospice care is formally revoked.
This is where respite care can be helpful. It provides the -family caregivers with the break they need, and also ensures that their elderly loved one is still receiving the attention that he or she needs. Respite care is not all the same. Respite can vary in time from part of a day to several weeks. Respite encompasses a wide variety of services including traditional home-based care, as well as adult day care, skilled nursing, home health, and short term institutional care.
