[quote=Anonymous]Medicare pays for rehab if doctor orders it. But they pay in increments, as long as patient is improving--generally up to max 90 days. If/when patient stops improving then the waters get murky. Medicare no longer will pay, however nursing home can't discharge a patient who doesn't have a place to go that can care for the patient. If this is the case, then they keep the patient and it becomes private pay. If patient has no money, then social worker or family member gets approval for MediCAID and rehab facility accepts that or patient must find a MediCAID bed. Once someone is in a rehab facility things can get tricky money-wise. [/quote]
