We need to know if The doctor would approve Medical Transportation out of the Area, would Medicare & Medicaid pay for it?
We do not want my sister back in facility Sugarland, Texas. They are very neglegant & do illegal processing. we already reported them to the state. Can anyone please help us? It's very neccessary for my sister's health & well being. There are very few facilities in Texas that have ventilator approved rooms for her COPD condition.
There are ambulance companies in your area - give them a google search and get a few estimates. The cost will depend on the patients condition and how much monitoring they require (medically) as well as the distance to be travelled.
No, Medicare and/or Medicaid will not pay for a family requested transfer from one LTC center to another. Medicare & Medicaid pay for services determined to be a “medical necessity”. A family request to move their loved one from one LTC to another is not considered a “medical necessity”.
Do you mean ventilation system?
