My husband was told there was NO rehab that would accept Humana that could handle a patient on PD Dialysis. I later found that there was a way to make it happen but the discharge planners at Leesburg Hospital instead pushed him out without a plan. FYI 6 months Multiple hospital visits 2 almost immediate discharges at Lessburg and 3 months out having gone to Shands we find he had Pancreatic Cancer, gone under 3 months later. But can you imagine being told there is no place that will take his insurance. Meanwhile no body wanted to recognize that the VA would be paying the bill. It was just no Humana approved place.
BTW there is a BIG difference between a Medicare Advantage HMO & a PPO.
