TednRobin...thanks for the correct information. Amazing how so many people blame Obamacare...
We had the experience with my 90 year old mother who fell, was in the hospital for 3 days but was NOT "admitted"..she was there under "observation". Off to the nursing home for a 30 day rehab and she had to pay the $6,000 for the stay. Medicare did pay for the P/T.
It is very important to ask the nurse or someone if the patient has been "admitted".
