Sorry to hear of your mother's condition.

I don't know what type of insurance coverage your mother has. But for the most part the bureaucracy you're facing comes handed down from the almighty federal government. After all, they're the ones who set Medicare rules. And even if your mother was being treated via private insurance, most insurances follow the guidelines set by Medicare (albeit with some variation), so indirectly Medicare is directing those treatment algorithms, as well.
