My Hospital Rights

Support for patients and families

Independent of any hospital or health system

How to use the scripts: Words in [brackets] are blanks for you to fill in when you speak or copy the script.
[patient's name] = the person in the hospital (not your name, unless you are the patient).
Other blanks like [discharge date] or [hospital name] mean what they say.

New here? Start with situation 1 below. Hospital staff often use the word “rehab” for two very different levels of care, an IRF and a SNF, and that mix-up is the single most common source of confusion in this app. Situation 1 explains the difference on its own screen, along with why it matters most after a stroke, a brain injury, or a sudden loss of independence, so you have everything you need in one place without clicking around.

Reference
This is not medical advice and not legal advice. This app is for your own reference. The rules described here were correct as of June 2026. Wherever you see a rule number, you can tap it to see the official, always-current version on the government's own website. Laws and agency processes do change, so when it matters, check the live link rather than relying on the summary alone. You can also check medicare.gov, ecfr.gov, or your state's ombudsman. This is a test version. While you're testing it, this app sends the developer basic usage information, like which situations and pages you open and whether you use the copy-script button, plus your answers to the optional feedback form below if you choose to submit it. This is only to improve the app. It does not send your name, your loved one's name, or anything you type about your own situation, other than what you choose to type into the feedback form.
