Medicare will not cover anymore of my physical therapy at skilled nursing home rehab
Sorry for long post in advance so I had gotten a subdural hematoma back in January of this year and have been in a nursing home rehab facility since February I had gotten a cranoplasty on the 6th of August and before the surgery my insurance had cut my therapy sessions and after the surgery in August they had cut my therapy on 30of August but I had my social case worker to file an appeal on my behalf but as Labor Day came around the PT's the case worker didn't see me before hand in regards of the status of my appeal I only found out that my coverage ended was from one of my PT'S on Labor Day told me that this will be the last day that they will see me because my insurance stopped covering my sessions it's been driving me insane to the point that I'm better off leaving the nursing home rehab and doing at home therapy on my own of course I'll be facing complications from future insurance penalties but really what's the point in staying if I'm not receiving the treatment I'm meant to be receiving just so that the nursing home could milk my insurance for the stays just so you guys know I just can't walk at the moment because of drop foot I had filled a complaint about the weird handling of my case about my case worker to the ombudsman but they are quite busy to make a visit from why they told me that it might take awhile so now I'm trying to see if my jobs can do give me a pay out of my vacation pay for this year since I can use that money to make the necessary purchases on equipment that I'm going to need but I'll have to speak to my work union representative so now all I've been doing is staying in my room in bed doing nothing it's the just annoying me be anytime I bring this up to my uncle he keeps saying he knows how bad it is but I have to say every time he's said that to me it just gets me mad because it's going to be coming to a year soon and I've made no improvement because of the lack of physical therapy and anyone that have Said to me to my face They understand what I'm going through they really don't because I'm the here their not this remark has been made by family members mostly it just makes my blood boil now nursing home facility staffhave said for me to just go to the day room since I can I can transfer myself from my bed to the wheelchair and useI my wheelchair one-handed to move around the nursing home wings but that doesn't help the problem that I need physical therapy
