Hi all, first post.
Here is the deal. My mother-in-law just had a tumor removed from her right front/temporal lobe. She is going to need access to a Stay-In Rehab facility for acute rehab (Speech/Occupational/Physical).
Here's where things get sticky/difficult. The insurance she was/is on, Aetna, is going to end coverage on 7/1/2015. Her now Ex-BF removed her from his business insurance when my Fiancee and myself removed her from his care when we deemed him incapable of caring for her.
Health South has already approved her for rehab assuming Insurance will cover her. The case manager at the hospital believes that Aetna is going to cease ALL payments of care on July 1st. She says that is how they operate and wont pay anything after that.
What my fiancee and myself are trying to figure out is WHAT CAN WE DO FOR HER? She is eligible for Medicare in August (2 years after she received her first SSDI payment), so that is a month out. We have tossed around the idea of Short Term coverage, but not sure if any of the plans will cover Acute Rehab.
I write this sitting in the hospital recovery room hoping someone will have an idea of what, if anything can be done. Look forward to hearing from anyone and everyone.
Thank you!
