> Medicare would not continue to pay for his treatment. You just made my point. Remember, the hospital tried to advise the patient. We don't know the exact advice, because it's confidential due to HIPPA. I suspect that the patient was offered to be transferred to a facility like a nursing home, rehab center, or home care. The hospital can't transfer the patient against their will, nor can they continue to bill for treating someone who's condition is stable enough for cheaper treatment at a less expensive facility. It's a beuracratic nightmare. Without knowing more, I wouldn't cast blame on anyone.
