Toni,
Why did a hospital medical claims employee ask my husband, Steven, to sign a form stating that he is aware that he is now in his “lifetime reserve days”? He is waiting for a lung-heart transplant.
Steven went into the hospital in December of last year for congestive heart failure and discovered that his heart and lungs could no longer support him. The wait for this double transplant is taking longer than expected. I am concerned that the hospital will send him home or to a nursing home to wait and that he may not receive the correct medical care.
Please explain what Steven needs to do. He has Medicare with a Medicare supplement Plan G, and he has had no issues with that plan. Thanks, Toni.
