what one did you find that was not too heavy for you? My mom has an inogen. She finds it heave and bulky Thanks

She has Medicare and a supplemental plan

She used 18 visits in 2023, and they are only giving her 16 more visits currently

she is on visit 14 tomorrow. Medicare keeps saying 36 visits for start then 36 more can be approved if necessary. They say for a lifetime max of 72 visits Is this true?

my mom used 18 last pulm rehab two years ago

Now 16 they mentioned they would give her-

Possibly I should have the Pulmonary Dr write a letter and

a prescription to the Pulmonary rehab facility to extend her program 4 weeks

The facility is very stingy on the visits

I believe 72 is the lifetime limit

Can someone give me some guidance?

Thanks so much

Hi Mary

Is that for Pulmonary Rehab phase one and phase two?

Thank you for responding

Medicare says only 36 and 36 more if justified- a total of 72 visits a lifetime

has anyone gotten approval from Medicare for over and above the above visit number of 72?

Thanks Vicki

My mother has pulmonary fibrosis from a drug or ILD
She recently had pneumonia. Prior to pneumonia she was not on oxygen

She attended pulm rehab once prior

They are only giving her 16 visit. It seems like more should be granted since she just had pneumonia and has pulmonary fibrosis

Can anyone help me with this re: insurance and visits?
