Hospitals love to play the observation game, high profit for hospital retail. I went through this with my mother about 9 months ago. Admitted=covered by medicare, observation=out of your pocket. In my mothers town observing is $5k per day and they want her for 3 days/2 midnights.

In our case they "observed" her so well that she was too dehydrated to kick out (4 hours notice/8pm before the 3rd midnight) they had to admit her and the bill got covered, but it was a close call.

They admitted her for a broken rib which she did not have. The bill was $21k, after all her insurances we paid about $400.


Good grief!

Well she likes celebrity status and would sign up for observation if she could.

well honestly they sent her home yesterday and she got worse a few hours later (urgent care). She is on treatments and they are watching her pressure. She lives far away from the airport so sending her home today would probably not been a good idea.

Sounds like you're in a pinch. It's amazing how often this can happen. Well, we do the best we can and deal with fallout if it happens. I sorry this is happening to both her and you.

My mother has taken a turn for the better physically and a turn for the worse mentally, I am once again making decisions that make me feel like some kind of ogre even though I know it will be for the best. Mom is taking this better than I am.
