What to know at Riverside Community
- The hospital's discharge page says a nurse case manager helps arrange care after the hospital, and that discharge is usually at 11 am. If you can, call us the day before, so equipment can be timed to the patient's arrival.
- The hospital's own page says it is your right to choose your post-hospital agency. Its list of affiliated providers names home health and skilled nursing, not hospice.
What to tell the case manager
Say the name Beta Hospice Care, Inc., the phone (877) 258-7129 and the referral fax (855) 563-3575, or call us and we contact the hospital team. The full list, with our Medicare number, is on in the hospital now?.
Can you choose the hospice?
Yes. Hospitals must respect the patient's freedom to choose among providers for care after discharge, and the hospice is your choice whatever list you are given. If the person has a Medicare Advantage plan, hospice is still paid by Original Medicare, so the plan does not limit the choice.
A person leaving the hospital is admitted on the day of discharge unless you ask for a different day. What happens in the next 24 hours is on in the hospital now?.
