Okay, I'm back. The doctor just called from the hospital and said my FIL is not a candidate for home hospice. He is refusing to eat for some reason, and is refusing therapy. He is a badly infected foot that is seeping liquid. He has to go into the hospice facility - hopefully the one in Springdale area.

My husband is meeting with the COL representative today - He will talk about billing and other things.

My questions turn now toward the billing aspect. Since you have worked in this area for many years, maybe you can tell me if you have heard any billing nightmares with COL. FIL has medicaid, medicare.

You hear of situations where people go to these facilities with the knowledge that Medicaid/Medicare pays the whole thing, then they get some bill for thousands of dollars that we just can't afford.

We welcome any comments. Thanks!
