Yes, Insurance will cover some cost but did you know that for a Dialysis patient that requires (per physician) an ambulance as a Medcar would not be appropriate, that person pays the cost of 5,000.00 to 7,000.00, that the Insurance and Medicare will not pay.
A definition of the medical term guarded prognosis is presented. Guarded prognosis refers to a prognosis given by a physician when the outcome of a patient's illness is in doubt. The definition is from the Taber's Cyclopedic Medical Dictionary, published by F. A. Davis Co. ACCESSION #. 21229874.
The use of terms is subjective and no clear guide lines are made for their use. They are used depending on vital parameters, diagnosis and prognostic outlook. Serious: Diagnosis which has not good prognosis, with vitals not good and fluctuating. Guarded: Condition, where things are not clear, can have poor outcome and can go either way. Stable: Where vitals are normal, although the diagnosis had been life threatening. Critical: Where vitals parameters are unstable and diagnosis is life threatening, with real danger of death. Hope this helps.
