Yup. What I really hated was the HMO's kicking residents out if they didn't "show improvement" after a week of therapy! A res. can get any where from 15 min to 2 hours of therapy a day. 15 if they are doing poorly - not achieving goals as fast to make insurance comps. happy. 2 hours if they do well. Does that make sense? Not to me. The people that really need the therapy get shafted while those who do well get more and more. Sometimes we had to fudge our documentation as well: if Mrs A ambulated 50 ft instead of 20 ft, I had to say she did the 20 cause the HMO's might stop paying cause she's doing too well. I hated that. Lying on a legal record!
*shakes head*
And those they've stopped paying for don't have anybody to take care of them at home. The elderly should NOT be on HMO's, unless they're independently wealthy.
