@kamialaniz: APPROVED OR DENIED PODCAST Skilled Nursing vs Rehab vs Long Term Care What Medicare Covers, Who Pays 🎙️ **NEW EPISODE | APPROVED OR DENIED** **Skilled Nursing vs. Rehab vs. Long-Term Care: What Medicare Covers, Who Qualifies & Who Pays?** Your loved one is being discharged from the hospital, and the doctor says they need rehabilitation. But what kind? An inpatient rehabilitation hospital? A skilled nursing facility? Or could they receive therapy at home? And what happens if your loved one needs permanent nursing home placement? **Do you know what Medicare actually covers?** Join me, Kami Alaniz, RN, for this week's episode of **APPROVED OR DENIED: Decoding Medicare, Medicaid, and Beyond — For Professionals, Patients, and Providers.** ☕ Grab your coffee, and let's talk about: ✅ The differences between inpatient rehabilitation, skilled nursing facilities, and long-term custodial care. ✅ Who qualifies for Medicare-covered skilled nursing and rehabilitation services. ✅ Medicare Part A versus Medicare Part B. ✅ Why Medicare NEVER covers long-term custodial nursing home care. ✅ How Medicaid may cover nursing facility placement for eligible individuals. ✅ How long-term nursing home residents may still qualify for physical therapy, occupational therapy, and speech therapy under Medicare Part B. ✅ Therapy options in nursing homes, outpatient settings, and at home. ✅ Hospital inpatient versus observation status. ✅ Medicare Advantage authorizations, coverage denials, and appeals. ✅ Five important questions families should ask before hospital discharge. ❤️ **AND BEYOND — THE PERSON BEHIND THE PLACEMENT** Imagine your mother has lived independently for 50 years. Now she's being told she needs to move into a nursing home. Everyone is discussing her medical needs, insurance, and placement. But has anyone asked how she feels? We're talking about maintaining independence, dignity, identity, happiness, and purpose while adjusting to assisted living or nursing home care. We'll also discuss my book, *Adjustment to Assisted Living and Nursing Home*, created to help patients, families, caregivers, and healthcare professionals navigate these transitions. Because healthcare isn't just about medical conditions. It's about people. 🎧 **LISTEN OR WATCH** ▶️ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@kamialaniz 🎙️ Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0346LNKsROhMZqr4qe3OwX 🌐 Official Podcast Page: https://www.justbrooke.net/approved-or-denied Also available through podcast platforms including Apple Podcasts, Amazon Music, iHeartRadio, Overcast, Pocket Casts, and Castbox. 📅 **New episodes every Thursday at 7:00 AM Central.** 🌍 **YOU'RE INVITED TO THE JUST BROOKE SOCIETY!** The Just Brooke Society is a special invitation to people around the world to become part of a community centered on empowerment, personal transformation, and living your dream life.
