Medicare and Costs
Once Medicare stops covering the visit, most patients are paying between $500-$600/day to remain in skilled nursing when they could easily return home with care and save money, get more care and continue to get PT.
Once Medicare stops paying patients will no longer receive therapy, so there is no chance to continue to improve and rehabilitate. Home Care services provide a chance for patient’s to get better at home.
