Geewiz, Medicare only pays 50% from 21 to 100 days. Hopefully supplimental will pick up balance but Mom was on a share so had to pay 150 out of pocket.
Hi Pinky, can you be more specific with your question? Are you talking about the length of stay for rehab after a hospitalization that is covered by medicare? Can you tell us more? For post hospital rehab, Medicare will pay for the first 20 days in full. BUT the patient must be showing progress and cooperating. The rehab sets the goals. Once the patient reaches the goals, rehab is pretty much done. If goals have not been met, and the first 20 days are over, Medicare will pay 80% of the bill up to day 100. Often, secondary insurance will pay for a piece of the remaining 20% . Not sure if this is what you are asking ...
