It does not seem right that a mother should be reimbursed to care for their own child, special needs or not, especially not to the tune of hundreds of dollars per hour to be in their own home.
Sounds to me like she thinks the family should not be paid at all and her bills should not be reduced. I would not trade 1 day of the care I gave for any amount of money. If I could I would give any additional years that I have left on earth for more time with my FIL or parents. I don't regret changing bedsheets, cooking meals, dressing and redressing wounds or bodies. I gave our Live-in Sundays off without notifying her agency so she could attend church services and be with family.
Our healthcare system is out of control and it starts with physician and medical billing, not to mention pharmacies. A physician sticks his head into a hospital room to say Hi to a client and then bills for a consultation. A $10 Tylenol or $15 bandaid is beyond price gouging. One small accident and admittance to a hospital and there are bills from every agency within the hospital, and some for multiple times per day. She asked if she should be concerned about this case with the billing by the family. I say, Mind your own business and do your job which is caring for the individual, not peeking at someone else's billing practices
(holy ch**t)
Man...read it again. She's not the one submitting the bills, she's RN case worker observing the MOTHER submitting 35k/mth in bills. She even 'asks'---'SHOULD I BE CONCERNED?'
BoB responded correctly,...you did not.
AND YEAH...she was correct in asking about it. 35k/mth for 1 person to work on a case??? Lets see, if i were working 160hrs a mth, that would be bout $200/hr. A little steep for a home care taking case.
There's so much f***kn fraud going on that if there were 'no whisle blowers the problem would be 10x worse.
I know if i see fraud, i'm gonna report it. (I guess you wouldn't).
(for the love of Jesus...).
