Fiancé with badly broken leg told by hospital that in-home PT cannot be provided because all the PTs are afraid of not getting paid (since the injury was part of an accident and therefore lawyers/insurance are involved). Is this normal?

My fiancé broke her tibia and fibula and was in the hospital for a week (other driver declared at fault). They sent her home and said PT would be in touch. Four days later they called and basically said “sorry, none of the in home care providers want to take this on because they’re afraid they won’t get paid due to lawyers and insurance being involved”. Not exact words but that’s basically what they said. So, we are now going to have to call around to PT places and I’ll have to drive her multiple days a week when we were hoping to keep her out of cars for another couple weeks as much as possible.

Is this normal? Any advice?
