A friend of my mother's who is on Medicare (not my client), recently suffered her fourth stroke. She's a heavy smoker and diabetic.
She has a MA plan and was sent home after six days in the hospital. Said she was told she could go home with nurses and PT or be sent to a nursing home (the plan would pay), but NOT to a SNF.
I don't understand why the plan supposedly would pay for a nursing home?
I asked my mother to see if she received a "Medicare Outpatient Observation Notice" (MOON). The friend said she didn't. Is this something she can file a grievance about against the hospital?
