All you need to do is ask your family doctor. He will refer your husband to a hospital near you. Usually he will want him to go in the same day or next day after you’ve seen him. I went through this with my husband. He was there for 30 days. Insurance will cover it, but only once in a lifetime. It cost the insurance company about ,000. This is why they will only cover it once. Good luck.
