This skit demonstrates how a person on Medicare can appeal their hospital discharge plan, demand their rights and save their life. Every state has a QIO, or Quality Improvement Organization that monitors hospitals and doctors that bill Medicare. There are rules hospitals must follow. For example, they must notify you in writing 48 hours in advance of your discharge. These are federal rules that hospitals are legally required to follow. Don't leave the hospital until you are ready. Know your rights!
