Medicare
Medicare is a Federal insurance program for person age 65 and over and persons with certain severe disabilities. If, after being discharged from at least a three (3) day hospital stay, the person is admitted to a Skilled Nursing Facility within 30 days, Medicare may help pay for care up to 100 days in a benefit period, as long as the resident continues to meet the skilled level of care criteria.
If eligible, Medicare Part A pays the full cost of covered services for the first 20 days. From the 21st day through 100th day many supplemental Medicare insurance contracts pays for the co-insurance amount. If resident does not have a supplemental policy it will be resident or representative responsibility to pay.
Blue Cross/Long Term Care Insurance
Coverage depends on the particular insurance policy, since many policies do not cover skilled or basic extended care. Certain Blue Cross groups have coverage for extended care if skilled care criteria are met. Most policies usually cover a limited amount of days.
Medicaid
This is a State program designed to provide health care services to low income persons. To qualify, criteria for income and savings must be met. Applications must be filled out for the Family Independence Agency, who then determines eligibility and co-payment, if any, to be paid to the Facility. For assistance in filling out this application please see the Billing Clerk. We accept Medicaid Pending if after discussion with family we feel resident is qualified.
