The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

I'm in need of the expertise of the community.

Dad was enrolled in Hospice on April 5. My brother signed the paperwork, and spoke with the facility administrator, the nursing director, and the nurse practitioner assigned to the facility.

On April 8 he got a call from the local hospital saying Dad was in the ER. Brother asked why since Dad was enrolled in hospice, so the hospital sent Dad back to the facility.

Now we have a $6,000 bill from the hospital because Medicare won't pay since Dad was enrolled in Hospice, and Hospice won't pay because they weren't consulted with the ER visit.

Has anyone dealt with something like this?
