3 Day Rule
I saw an article by CBS News on my phone today talking about how a patient on Medicare has to have been in the hospital (not counting the ED) for 3 days which is 3 midnights in order for the patient to be eligible to enter rehab following the hospital stay. Something new to me again. Mom always has been hospitalized for more than 3 days when we have sought out rehab for her so I did not give thought to how long she had to be hospitalized qualify to go. I just thought it was based on medical need to be in rehab for PR and OT.
Always something more. I wonder if I will ever find the time to read through every document full of fine print.
