>no facility wants to be stuck with a male Medicaid patient
I'm curious, can you elaborate as to why that is?
- joncrane 8y agoIt seemed highly likely to me because Medicaid's reimbursement rates are very low.
- LeifCarrotson 8y agoI understand that Medicaid rates are low, but why the male/female distinction?
- bilbo0s 8y agoIn all fairness, when it comes to end-stage palliative care, there is no male/female distinction with respect to the bottom line. They both hit it pretty hard assuming they qualify.
- Spooky23 8y agoThere are a lot more older women than men, and a higher likelihood of getting stuck with a single occupied bed as you cannot bunk male/female. Nursing homes are an awful, evil business.
