Please check with both your insurer and your doctor's staff (scheduler and PA are usually better informed on this issue.)
Depending on your plan/supplemental plan it is possible that the doctor can write a strongly worded order for in-patient rehab and get at least a week or two of coverage approved, followed by in-home outpatient rehab. We have neighbors who have been able to do it.

Good suggestion. I have a friend who stayed for a month in an in-patient rehab and was very pleased. She had no help at home. But I would suggest you do your homework on in-patient rehab facilities. They are not all created equal. In the Dallas area, there are mostly rehab facilities for substance abuse. Others had low ratings. My Dr. does not recommend an in-patient rehab facility. Instead, he kept me in the hospital 4 days and 3 nights for a bilateral knee replacement. Once home I had an inpatient home therapist come in 3 times a week for 2 weeks. That was invaluable. Do the research and keep asking questions!

Thank you. I will do that. That would be a big help to me!
