Blood
Joleen
remembers the doctor saying that their father lost a lot of blood after
the accident. She decides to look up the coverage for additional pints
of blood to complete her review of the coverage related to hospital stays.
She learns that
Medicare helps cover the blood a person with Medicare receives at a hospital
or SNF during a covered stay. The person pays for the first three pints
of blood unless he, she, or someone else donates blood to replace what
is used.
With the hospital
coverage clear in her mind, Joleen is ready to look into the coverage
for SNF care.
