unfortunately this is true. its why theyre on board with the transgender surgeries and getting them covered by the state. also why some people end up on vents a few days longer then they should in certain LTACHs.... theres a per day payment scheme and it maxes around 15 days (or at least it used to).... no facility has a written policy about this, its just understood and unfortunately if they dont do this, the institution will not survive as reimbursement rates for gov programs / non insurance has to be covered....so it becomes easily justified either selfishly or for the "greater good" (keeping the doors open or no one gets help).
