[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My Dad had Parkinsons with Medicare Advantage. I am not sure about an 8K cap. I do know they were very quick to stop paying for skilled nursing after a hospital stay...despite the fact that he could not stand up and needed a catheter. Took 4 appeals to get additional coverage but he was at end of life stage by then.l[/quote] This may have been a Medicare thing where you have to be improving to stay in skilled nursing. Medicare Advantage members are entitled to the same benefits as Original Medicare beneficiaries (might require an appeal, but they shouldn't be denying benefits that would be paid for under Original Medicare).[/quote] This is not true. There is no requirement that the patient is improving.[/quote]
