Much discussion and interest have been generated since the ruling on Jimmo v. Sebelius occurred. However, lack of understanding at all levels of the organization regarding maintenance therapy has made people wary of providing this level of care, despite the fact that it is part of what the Medicare beneficiary is entitled to.
