Picture this: you suffer a fall that lands you in the hospital. At the end of your stay, you are discharged to a rehab facility for three weeks of rehabilitation and skilled nursing care. The time you spend in the hospital and at rehab is stressful, but you rest assured knowing that you have Medicare coverage. Weeks later, the bills start pouring in, and you learn that Medicare has covered almost nothing. You now owe both the hospital and the rehab facility several thousand dollars. How did this happen?
