Medicare Guidelines
Medicare has very specific guidelines regarding what it takes to qualify for a Medicare stay in a Skilled Nursing Facility. To qualify, an individual must meet all of the following criteria:


  • Have Medicare Coverage
  • 3-Day Qualifying Hospital Stay
  • Medical Need for around the clock Skilled Nursing Care and/or A Need for Therapy Services

As long as the individual meets all of these requirements, then Medicare should pay for the following amounts for a Skilled Nursing Facility stay.


  • Days 1-20 Medicare pays 100%
  • Days 21-100 Medicare pays all cost except a resident co-pay



For individuals who qualify, Medicaid may pay part or all of the Medicare co-pay days 21-100. Medicare and Medicaid coverage can be very complicated.  The Business Office staff will be glad to assist you with this process.
