Medical Debt Assistance Program
Some individuals may have enough income to pay for basic living expenses but can't pay for unexpected or large medical bills. San Juan Regional Rehabilitation Hospital offers a Medical Debt Assistance Program (MDAP) that may help cover all or a portion of the cost of your rehabilitation hospitalization based on eligibility criteria.
For information on the Medical Debt Assistance Program, ask your case manager at 505.609.2660 to assist you. Or, contact our billing office staff at 505.609.2838. You may inquire before admission, while you are in the hospital, or even after you have been discharged.
Discharge
Your rehabilitation team will work with you and your family to estimate how long you would benefit from staying in the program. Training will be provided for you and your family members so you will be able to function safely in the home and community. Your team members will coordinate times for training and practice. The case manager will help arrange for the care you need after leaving, such as home health care, outpatient therapy, doctor's appointments, etc.
Discharge Equipment
Before your discharge, equipment may be recommended for you to use when you go home. This may include a wheelchair, walker, bath bench, grab bars, or long handled bath sponge. Your therapists will help you decide what you will need. Some items may not be paid for by your insurance. If they are not, your case manager and therapists will talk with you about your options.
It is best not to buy equipment or start remodeling until you and your caregivers have talked with your therapists
