5/4/24 - Update on My Husband

It's just plain ridiculous that they'd want to send him home. How is he, and you, expected to function?

I hope you win the appeal. He needs to be there until he is able to get in and out of bed.

I guess they expect you to either help him in and out or else get one of those poles to grab onto.

Odd. That's all I can say right now. Are there no humans there?

I hope you win the appeal.

Hope you win the appeal. Your husband needs to stay in the rehab for the time being.

I hope, but you really need to have a plan B together for whatever happens. I would be working on that now. You don't want to be blindsided.

Have you thought about filing a grievance with your state’s insurance commission? They’re just messing with you, and that’s WRONG.

Wishing you boh all the best and sending many blessings,

That sounds super iffy and not a good plan.

Isn’t it in their best interest to keep him there?

@LindaOHio It is sad how they do not listen and that you have to appeal. I am sorry they do not get it.

I hope that there is a positive response to that appeal. He needs care for some more time in the rehab. It's ridiculous that they want him to go home when he is actually not ready for that. Take care. Keeping you in prayers.

I agree, I don't understand it either. Some just don't care though it seems. Sorry to hear that is going on

We’ll keep praying. I cannot fathom how stressful this has been for you and your husband. Cannot fathom.

I hope you can win the appeal, your husband cannot come home, there is no one to help him out of the bed. I know that Medical Insurances require that the patient MUST improve by ''X" percent/amount every 7 days. If they improve too much or not enough, continued physical therapy is denied, and the patient can be forced to leave the rehab facility, or pay for the rehab facility and treatments. It is a shame that the paperwork applies a 'one size fits all' mentality.

I hope that he gets to come home soon too.

My guess is that your insurance company is paying as little as possible to the facility, so they want to push your husband out so they can fill the bed with another patient who either pays full price or has an insurance company that pays better. It's sad that these days it's all about the money and not about the patient's recovery. I hope your husband continues to improve.

You are facing uncertainties from two sides - your husband's well-being and insurance. I do hope better days are ahead.

Gee seems a patient advocate is needed to offer you some kind of assistance. Or a lawyer. What are they doing to facilitate your husband speedy recovery? What do they suggest you do if he is not strong enough to come home yet? Where is he supposed to go? This is terribly wrong!
