In 2020, once the 20 days are up, the patient is responsible for a daily copay of $176 however supplemental insurance should cover that or at least help offset it.
Further to first response, the benefit claim must first start with a hospital stay of three days I.e., admitted not just kept in ER or a room for observation
look in the index under rehab or skilled nursing, long term care is not covered except for these short periods of time
Skilled Nursing Rehab (SNF) is when Medicare pays 100% of 20 days and then 80% of days 21-100. If the personal has a Medicare supplemental plan, it may pay some or all of the remaining 20% on days 21-100.
It's usually, I believe, 100 days in a benefit period (a year), but there are ways it can start over after certain amounts of time pass between stays.
Feeling, its 50% for the 21 to 100 days. Supplimentals don't always pick up that 50%. The last time Moms was in over 20 days, she paid $150 a day and that has gone up.
