Stroke patients may face high medical costs, including:

Deductibles, or the amount they need to pay for covered health care services before their health insurance starts paying benefits.

Copays, which are fixed amounts paid for covered health care services after the deductible is met.

Surprise billing, which is a medical billing practice that occurs when someone goes to an in-network hospital, but receives treatment from an out-of-network doctor, surgeon or specialist.

Diagnosis and treatment expenses, plus costs associated with rehabilitation.

Medical insurance may not cover all of the rehabilitation which could include:

Physical therapy to work on problems with movement, balance, and coordination.

Occupational therapy to help with eating, dressing, and other daily tasks.

Speech therapy to help relearn speech, language skills and any  issues with swallowing.
