He needs to ask his doctor if he can have therapy. It isn't my
understanding of Medicare that he can't.
I get authorized by my doctor at least once a year for some sort of
therapy for one ouchie or or another. I forget how many weeks
Medicare will go for, probably a couple times a year. No cost to me.
