Chronic Neurological Disease and Medicare

[Guest guest]

I would appreciate some input from the group about treating patients with

Lupus or Parkinson's Disease. I do understand the Medicare criteria:

improvement in a reasonable amount of time.

However, some of these patients decline quickly if they don't continue to

challenge their muscles. These are patients who cannot exercise safely on

their own or with the help of a spouse or caretaker.

Is there any provisions under Medicare to continue to see these patients?

Thank you.
