discharged from TTSH and transfered to AMK-THKH hosp for rehab

my mum just got discharged from TTSH at 9am today and was transferred into AMK-THKH community hospital for rehab at ward 1 level 2 bed 1033, the rate was subsidised at $68 /day total for a period of 4 weeks is $2040. (maximum length of stay is 4 weeks)

because AMK-THKH is not a restructured hospital like TTSH , the maximum allowable deduction from medisave account is $3500 per year, and from the bill from TTSH during her 10 day stay is about $2247, there might be a possiblity i need to top up cash if she overstays at AMK-THKH, social overstayers pay $150 per day for unsubsidised rates.

i have only about $8518 in mine medisave, and my mum is about $1159, it calculates to about 17 days of social overstaying... assuming that my mum pays for her stay at AMK with her medisave.

$8518-$2247=$6267 leftovers from TTSH stay

$1159-$2040=-$881

6267-881 = $5386

(3500-881)/150=17 days of social overstaying. after which will be paid with cash.

wondering if hiring a maid would be better idea then letting her overstay in AMK. hope she could get well soon within that 4 weeks of stay in AMK and start walking again

btw the implants she got from the surgery looks cool in the x-ray pictures , a whole femur made up of titanium alloy! the doctor's diagnosis from the discharge notes is right neck of femur fracture, surgery was done on a sunday morning 20.05.07 cos there were urgent cases in btw.
