The questions your team needs answered
Every inpatient hospice care intake asks these — and why each one matters.
| Question | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Has a doctor indicated that the patient has a life-limiting illness needing hospice-level care? | A confirmed physician indication of hospice-level need carries the highest weight in the catalog because it establishes the patient actually meets criteria for facility-based care. |
| What is the current care setting of the patient? | Knowing whether the patient is at home, hospitalized, in a facility, or already in hospice elsewhere tells your team what kind of transfer or admission process applies. |
| Why is inpatient facility care being considered instead of home hospice? | This single-choice answer carries the heaviest scoring weight in the catalog, since uncontrolled pain or safety concerns point to genuine facility-level need rather than general interest. |
| Who is the primary decision-maker for the patient's care? | Identifying whether a family member, power of attorney, or professional coordinator is deciding lets your team route follow-up communication and consent paperwork correctly. |
| Does the patient have active health insurance or Medicare/Medicaid coverage? | Active coverage is scored as an urgency signal because it removes the biggest administrative barrier standing between the intake and a fast admission. |
| How soon is inpatient hospice placement needed? | The urgency answer, from immediate to just planning ahead, directly determines how fast your team needs to respond once the lead lands in your CRM. |
| What geographic area should the facility search focus on? | Free-text location lets your team see immediately whether the request falls within an actual service radius before committing staff time to it. |

Built for inpatient hospice care workflows
| Cliont capability | Inpatient Hospice Care application |
|---|---|
| Conditional branching | Adjusts follow-up questions based on the current care setting answer, so a patient already in hospice elsewhere doesn't get asked the same intake path as one still at home. |
| Weighted lead scoring | Raises priority automatically when the reason for inpatient care is uncontrolled pain or safety concerns, and scores 'just exploring options' lower without discarding the lead. |
| Document upload capture | Collects physician certification of hospice eligibility and insurance documentation before the case ever reaches your CRM, so admissions isn't chasing paperwork after intake. |
| Free-text field parsing | Uses the open-ended service-area question to flag out-of-region inquiries early, before staff spend time on outreach for a facility that isn't nearby. |
| CRM routing | Sends only qualified inpatient placement requests, with urgency and decision-maker fields attached, directly into your CRM instead of a general inbox. |
Common inpatient hospice care lead scenarios
Uncontrolled symptoms, urgent placement
Family cites uncontrolled pain or symptoms as the reason for inpatient care and needs placement immediately, with active insurance already confirmed—this combination scores near the top of the catalog.
No caregiver available at home
Patient is currently at home but has no caregiver present; the intake flags this reason separately from a symptom crisis and captures a within-a-week timeline for placement.
Family exploring options early
An adult child is researching inpatient hospice for a parent still hospitalized, selects 'just exploring options,' and sets no firm placement date, so the lead scores lower without being disqualified.
Insurance status unclear
Family isn't certain whether the patient has Medicare or Medicaid and needs placement within a month; the coverage question surfaces the gap early so admissions can start verification before the assessment.
Transfer from another hospice
Patient is already receiving hospice care elsewhere, but safety concerns are prompting a family to look for inpatient placement instead—current care setting and decision-maker answers route this correctly.

Inpatient Hospice Care lead-intake FAQs
How does the intake identify urgent placement requests?
It asks how soon placement is needed—immediately, within a week, within a month, or planning ahead—and pairs that answer with the stated reason for inpatient care, so time-sensitive cases like uncontrolled pain surface first in your CRM.
What happens if a family isn't sure about insurance coverage yet?
The intake still records whatever the family knows about Medicare, Medicaid, or private coverage. Unclear or missing coverage is flagged so admissions can begin verification before the care assessment instead of during it.
Does the intake distinguish inpatient hospice requests from home hospice requests?
Yes. The current care setting question and the specific reason inpatient facility care is being considered over home hospice let your team route mismatched requests toward Home Hospice Care instead.
Who does the intake identify as the decision-maker for care?
It asks whether the patient, a family member, a legal representative or power of attorney, or a professional care coordinator is making decisions, so your team knows who to contact and what documentation to request.
Can families searching outside our service area still submit an intake?
The intake collects the geographic area the family wants the facility search focused on as free text, so staff can see immediately whether a request falls inside their coverage area before assessing it.
What if a lead hasn't received physician confirmation of hospice eligibility?
A 'no' answer to the physician confirmation question is still delivered but weighted lower than a confirmed diagnosis, giving your team the option to route the family toward a Hospice Eligibility Assessment first.
