Who can I call or where do I go for help?
Their excuse is that I need more therapy. I already have home therapy health set up for when I go home.
If I call the office I get voice mail.

If I read this correctly, you are self-sufficient, pain free, and have a follow up plan already in place and "they" won't discharge you. If that is exactly the case, that's insane.
So, I would start by calling the orthopedist that did the surgery and get in contact with the physician in charge at the rehab facility. That facility should also have discharge planners. If that fails, you can play "hardball"---talk to the administrator of the facility and tell them you are going to call the Medicare or third party insurer fraud division and ask them to investigate. (the number is prominent on any Medicare EOB). Unless there is another issue here, 16 days seems long already-----my 90 year old mother was home 9 days after THR with home PT. But then again, that was NY medicine, not Florida medicine.
