Often times, we see patients that are needing further skilled services but because they have reached the plateau, Medicare stops paying. Pretty soon this line " for as long as you show improvement, Medicare will continue to pay for your services" will be changed to "Medicare will pay for you're maintenance therapy". This Proposed Settlement Agreement will hopefully stop CMS from denying patients with chronic conditions the appropriate care they need to continue living a quality life. This will hopefully decrease hospital re-admissions and eventually save us health care dollars.
