Dad is on Medicare, SNF has mostly semi private rooms as they are a certified SNF by Medicaid in Florida and Medicaid only pays for a semi private room. The SNF usually assigns its available single rooms to private pay patients. I would be willing to pay the upgrade in room charge to get dad a private room so long as the provider would not have an issue receiving the Medicaid reimbursement for the semi private rate and so long as my dad's Medicaid eligibility would not be lost.
My limited understanding is that family supplementation is a state by state issue with regards to Medicaid.
She'd misunderstood and thought they'd said '$2500 a day.'
