[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My father went to rehab after 2 months in the hospital following a stroke. He was bedbound for so long he couldn’t even sit up when he left hospital.[b] Medicare paid for 2 weeks of rehab and then cut him off. He still couldn’t walk or get around by himself yet they deemed him improved enough. [/b]I appealed but was still denied. Ended up having to private pay and spend down assets to qualify for Medicaid so that he could get LTC.[/quote] I work in a nursing home. This happens all the time. And they love to send the cutoff notice at 5:30 on a Friday/ Christmas Eve/ insert holiday here. They do this because you only have 24 hours to appeal. There is not always appropriate staff there to receive the notice and notify the family in time to appeal.[/quote]
