I agree, there is a time they can go back but I think that is under a certain situation, like an appeal. If discharged, the person was found to have hit a plateau and Medicare would not continue paying for it.
I would call clients PCP and ask if a in home assessment could be done. They will evaluate. PT can be done in the home.
I have seen somewhere here before or learned along the way - that after mom was discharged and we went home I did have a certain amount of time to re-enter rehab if necessary. But not sure about an acute facility. Is this Medicare insurance? I would contact the persons primary care as they would be the ones that would have to write up the orders.
Acute care has different rules and criteria than skilled nursing rehab - - - you could also contact the facility the client was in and explain ask them their rules? They may be able to guide you - also contact Medicare.
