Does Medicare Cover Skilled Nursing? 
Skilled nursing facility care is a Medicare Part A covered service . Coverage includes a semi-private room , meals , skilled nursing and rehabilitative services , and other services / supplies that are medically necessary . To qualify for skilled nursing facility care you must of had a three day minimum medically necessary hospital stay for a related illness or injury and certification from your doctor that you need daily skilled care -LRB- examples : intravenous injections or physical therapy -RRB- . If admitted to a skilled nursing facility , you pay nothing for the first twenty days of each benefit period . You are responsible for co-insurance per day for days 21 through 100 of each benefit period . If you have Medicare Supplement insurance , your co-insurance may be covered depending on your Plan benefits . If you are not sure of your Medicare Supplement insurance plan benefits , you can contact your insurance company or an independent agent who specializes in Medicare Supplement insurance -LRB- such as myself -RRB- . After day 100 in a benefit period , you pay all costs . Thank you for taking the time to read my response . Please let me know if I can be of further assistance .
