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?
