A member asked:
Broke pelvis two weeks ago, sent to rehab ctr, was told medicare will cover only 20 days? what now?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
LEAVE: Medicare is right. Unless there are complications that are reported by the physician, twenty days is perfectly adequate, if one is at a competent rehab center. If you need further rehab, and have not reached optimal functioning, you are eligible for outpatient rehabilitation and physical therapy. Get moving.
