It is as Barb described…..Most of the time IF someone is in a facility specifically for “rehab” that really should be you’re a patient in rehabilitation and it’s health insurance billing. Not that you’re living in a facility as a custodial care resident.
imo you need to very clearly find out just how your current stay status is being billed…… in other words are you a patient in rehab? OR a long term care resident? It would be two entirely different paths to move into another facility dependent on which you are.
Sometimes there will be those who find themselves in extended rehabilitation care. The ones I have known both were similar….. men who had a tremendously bad auto accident with a TBI that ended up staying months in specialty rehabilitation center. And this after weeks of undergoing surgeries and having long term acute care to be stabilized to finally get to rehab. If this is your situation, it seems to be quite complicated health insurance billing.
really imho knowing exactly what your status is AND how this is getting paid will be important for you to determine if that new place you are looking at would work for an allowed safe transfer for you under requirements of your health insurance.
