One hospital status decision can turn rehab into a $15,000+ bill
If your parent may need rehab before going home, there’s something most families aren’t told.
Rehab after the hospital can cost $400-$600 per day if it isn’t covered by Medicare.
And whether it’s covered often depends on how your parent is classified in the hospital- inpatient vs observation - not how much support they need.
