Under current rules, two patients can receive the exact same medical care in the same hospital building, but one gets their rehab paid for while the other owes thousands of dollars simply because of how the hospital classified their stay. This creates a 'trap' for seniors who assume they are covered because they are sleeping in a hospital bed. If this bill becomes law, it would provide financial security for vulnerable patients and ensure that medical necessity—rather than a technical classification—determines whether a senior gets the rehabilitation care they need.
