“I am a private nurse care manager who has advocated for my clients regarding the application of Jimmo decision for the last several years… without success. The therapists and nurses in the room continue to repeat ‘Must discharge because of lack of progress.’ Appeals take forever and many patients are unable or unwilling to take the risk of a large outstanding rehab bill. It appears that without physical therapy companies being better educated… it’s as if this court decision is meaningless.”
