Will Medicaid pay for a stage 4 cancer patients physical therapy while in a nursing home??

Medicaid paid the monthly rate, but now the nursing home wants the balance (around 4000) from me (POA).

The PT would have been ordered by a physician, and the bill should have gone to Medicaid. If you suspect an error, such as an unordered PT or one that was not signed for , challenge the bill.

Sorry, need to add information. She was in another nursing home that thought is was a good idea to give her therapy. I moved her to a home that was closer to me and when the old nursing home sent me a bill, it had the remaining balance for her stay (which I payed) and the additional charge for the physical therapy (first time I seen a bill for it). Im not sure why a patient, who was given 6 months to live, needs therapy.
