The rules say that Medicare pays for care in a skilled nursing facility (SNF) when all of the following four factors are met:

2. The patient requires these services on a daily basis; 
3. As a practical matter, the daily skilled services can be provided only on an inpatient basis in a SNF; and 
4. The services are reasonable and necessary for the treatment of the patient's illness or injury or the services must be needed to establish a safe and effective maintenance program or to prevent the patient's condition from getting worse.
