Not sure how best to ask. How do I find out "how much" Medicare will pay in a year for PT ?
Does it go by "occurence"? As in - if you supposedly use up the benefit for the year, but you somehow suffer a new injury on the same body part, or you injure a different part of your body, is there a different benefit "bucket" that will cover PT for that new injury?
Not the same, but I remember when helping my mom years ago, there was one year that she needed to stay out of the hospital for 90 days so her Medicare benefit would "reset" and would then be available to cover another hospitalization in that calendar year. From what I remember, she didn't need another hospitalization, but I was holding my breath during that 90 days.
Thanks for any comments!
