...Terri was placed in a hospice soon after Judge Greer ordered her feeding tube removed....

Show me where a court order to remove a feeding tube qualifies a patient for Hopice under Medicare guidelines.

Aren't court orders subject to appeal unless it is one from the U.S. Supreme Court?

Be mighty short sighted of our government (Medicare) to ignore that possibility, not to mention the Hospice.

In addition, to bill Medicare, it requires three signatures. The attending physician, the patient or legal guardian, and the Hospice.

Show me the proper signatures and then you can say she had every right to be there, as you claim.

I don't think you're going to be able to do that.

The hospice was picking up the bulk of her care. Medicaid covered the rest.
