In this Warner<em> Medicaid Moments</em> vlog, attorney Catherine Jacobs explains the critical role discharge planners play in helping patients and their families navigate what comes next after a hospital stay.

core/paragraph

Discharge planners are professionals who coordinate a patient’s transition from the hospital to the safest and most appropriate next level of care. Whether that means returning home with support, moving to assisted living or entering a skilled nursing facility for rehabilitation, discharge planners serve as the “quarterback” of the care team, aligning physicians, therapists, insurers and family members around a clear, coordinated plan.

Catherine highlights how discharge planners help families understand insurance coverage and potential costs, including when Medicaid programs may come into play and when it may be appropriate to seek guidance from an elder law attorney.

To help families advocate effectively, Catherine closes the vlog by sharing five essential questions to ask a discharge planner. Watch the video to learn how discharge planners support transitions of care and check back for future Warner<em> Medicaid Moments</em> vlogs.
