Medicare Information/Skilled Nursing Benefits

To be eligible for a Medicare skilled nursing stay, patients must have Medicare Part A benefits and have been hospitalized for three (3) consecutive days within the last thirty (30) days.

Medicare coverage is established by federal guidelines.

A patient is allowed up to 100 days of skilled coverage per benefit period, if all eligibility and medical criteria are met. Medicare will pay all of the medical charges (including room and meals) for the first twenty (20) days and only partially for the remaining eighty (80) days. The “co-insurance” for these 80 days is the financial responsibility of the patient/responsible party.  Medicare will not cover personal convenience items such as the additional cost of a private room, barber/beauty services, private telephone or cable television.

The patient and responsible parties are encouraged to participate in weekly care conferences. Once the patient reaches his/her goals, or the team determines he/she is no longer progressing through the treatment program, the patient will be discharged from the skilled nursing program.
