Some of best cardiologists asre here. A above DCF authorized represenative payee this includes Area on aging Longterm care benefits Medicaid and as such rep you can file for Medicare extra care benefits.
Now for out of state issue .
Florida recognizes 6 month residency. So you file for benefits for her

MaryLou88, the woman is on Hospice. There are no more MD appointments, just medications to relieve pain.

Several issues here. 1st do you really know how your mother's health is? Maybe on her next doctor's appointment you could come down, get permission to be with her during the appointment. Talk to the doctor, before you do that, do your homework and see what you can and cannot do. 2nd find out what's going on with your dad, is he having issues? They may need help and are afraid of asking for it. He maybe overwhelmed with his health and hers. 3rd be ready to hear some heavy duty facts. Some doctors are very caring and truly want to help their patients with their quality of life, but there is only so much they can do. A lot depends on the patients, their abilities to maintain their health, and their will. Maybe a short trip to visit them and find out what is happening would be a good idea. Love them and help them as much as you can.

If you don't think you can get her up to you, then go down and be her advocate. Investigate the best local doctors in her plan and get her into see one of them. They're the ones who would do follow-up care anyway, so it's probably better to have someone local see her and give you good info.

' but they don't think their insurance will cover out of state.'. Can you investigate for them? Medicare covers the entire US. If she is covered by Medicaid, that may be an issue, still you can make the calls and check.

I'm an Internist. Perhaps plavix, or, if she has a heart arrhythmia, Warfarin, could prevent further Damage, if it's Not Too Late.

TIA's never end with "a couple of", no, they are insidious and persistent and lead to "vascular dementia". Vision problems suggest TIA's on the retina as well. Health insurance will not work outside of the network (state) as health care plans run within a given state. She has chosen Hospice, which means she does not want further medical interventions. Time for you to go down and say your goodbyes. Ask for an FMLA leave. So sorry.
