If you need continuing skilled nursing care after you’ve been in the hospital and meet certain conditions (as explained earlier in this chapter and in Chapter 14), Medicare covers a stay in a skilled nursing facility — but it comes with limits. Beyond 100 days in each benefit period, you’ll pay the full cost unless you have additional insurance. Some or all of these costs may be covered if you have additional insurance coverage through Medicaid, employer health benefits, long-term-care insurance, or Medigap supplemental insurance. Check your policy to find out. Most Medicare Advantage plans also limit coverage to 100 days in a benefit period.
