[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 571534, member: 1514"] Is she on a medicare advantage plan? Well I have no idea how they work for being in an assisted living facility but I would assume medications are medications and would just fall under her part D. I know that IV antibiotics fall under part B. (God knows I hate knowing this much) Once you reach your $200 dollar whatever they call it, then you have that 20% but if she has any type of advantage plan then that should take care of that. I think there is also a medigap program too but I dont have a clue what that is for but it might be for assisted living...I just havent looked into it because I am also on medicaid and dont need it. Honestly if I was having this much problem I wouldnt be looking at attorney's, I would be looking at changing facilities. I dont think you are going to be happy until you feel comfortable with the care you are getting. Now no place is going to be perfect. They cant be because P isnt going to be the only patient. Even hospitals are understaffed these days. [/QUOTE]
