Mom has an appointment with Dr. Lightner at UK Kentucky Clinic next Tuesday at 2:30 - Dr. Lightner works with Dr. Nelson, the head neurologist she saw at Chandler Medical Center, so this is good.
She also has an appointment to be evaluated Wednesday morning at KORT for Aquatic Therapy, which I have been told is different than physical therapy and covered under a different section of the policy. I am checking on that to verify benefits since we don't want to double up and have insurance bounce the claim.
CareTenders has contacted the insurance company to verify insurance benefits and is scheduling a nursing visit with mom tomorrow to provide skilled nursing and some home PT. I told mom & Jim to go ahead and make that appointment with them when they receive the phone call, we can always cancel if we can't verify benefits before tomorrow.
In the meantime, mom and Jim are working through a list of range of motion exercises so she can keep things moving.
I'll post more once I verify the different coverage - it is so difficult to get a straight answer.
Have a great Monday!
