If inpatient rehab is required even after the 60 day reserve is used up, all costs are the responsibility of the patient.
People under 65, depending on insurance, is a different kettle of fish.

That would be why 90%plus is out the revolving door at 60 days. Most don’t have $20,000 of disposable income.It’s a very lucrative short stay facility. We have had to use rehab for parents multiple times, most accomplished need, unless patient was non-compliant. Once 60 days is up one can apply for home rehabilitation.
