Info for people with Medicare
Info for people with Medicare
My past 2 hospital stays although I've been admitted it's been under an observation status. When under observation status it doesn't use any of your Medicare hospital days. This will make things a lot easier on me!

Wow thanks for that article I was told otherwise from the social worker here at the hospital. I have both home nursing and a pharmacy that delivers to my home (IV meds and hydration).
