Does insurance cover rehabilitation cost at a facility?

Call the insurance company and check. There are so many different policies and levels of coverage Customer Service Rep. The # is usually on the back of the card.

Any rehab place will ask for his insurance policy info and verify eligibility as they will want to be reimbursed.

At times insurance companies pay for rehab at certain certain facilities so make sure this person’s rehab center is in his insurance company’s network or his cost may be higher. He may have a Co-pay as well.

Hopefully his insurance will cover all the rehab he requires. If not he may need to look into long term care.

It depends on what kind of insurance he has. Please advise and I can tell you for sure from there.

For Medicare it runs about $165/ day then it becomes full time nursing home and can run snpbout 100 to 140 K/ year depending on which state he lives in.

I hope it's not quite that long for recovery, I had an 84 year young friend that was completely rehabbed in 6 weeks, if you didn't know him you would have never known.

Good luck and may God bless his recovery.
