Payment Options

Ways to Pay for Skilled Nursing Care

There are several ways to pay for a stay at Seasons: Medicare, Medicaid, long-term care insurance, veterans benefits and private funds. Many families use a combination. Medicare often covers a short-term rehab stay first; after that, long-term care is usually paid through Medicaid, insurance, private funds, or a mix. For questions about your specific plan, call the customer service number on the back of your insurance card, or call us and we'll help.

Medicare

Medicare

Medicare is the federal health insurance program for people 65 and older, certain people under 65 with disabilities, and people with end-stage renal disease.

What Medicare covers in a skilled nursing facility

Medicare Part A can cover up to 100 days of skilled nursing care per benefit period when you qualify. Days 1–20 are covered in full. For days 21–100, Medicare continues to cover care, but a daily coinsurance amount applies (set each year by Medicare; many supplemental plans cover it). Medicare does not automatically approve all 100 days. Coverage continues only while you need and receive daily skilled care.

  • Semi-private room
  • All meals, including special diets
  • Skilled nursing care
  • Physical, occupational and speech therapy
  • Medications
  • Lab and X-ray services
  • Medical supplies and equipment used in the facility
  • Physician services

Who qualifies

  • A qualifying inpatient hospital stay of at least 3 days (not counting the day of discharge)
  • Admission to the skilled nursing facility, usually within 30 days of leaving the hospital
  • Care for a condition treated during the hospital stay, or one that started while in skilled care for that condition
  • A doctor's order for daily skilled nursing or rehabilitation that can only be provided in a skilled nursing facility

Note: Medicare Advantage plans may have different rules, such as prior authorization or no 3-day hospital stay requirement. Call us and we'll check your plan.

Medicaid

Medicaid

Medicaid helps pay for long-term nursing home care for people who meet income and asset requirements. Residents on Medicaid contribute part of their monthly income, such as Social Security, toward the cost of care, and Medicaid pays the rest of the covered costs. Medicaid generally covers nursing care, room and board, and medically necessary supplies and equipment. Rules for bed holds during hospital stays and leave days are set by the state. Ask Tawndi how they apply to your situation.

Additional Options

Other Ways to Pay

Private funds

Savings, investments and other personal or family assets. Private-pay residents pay the daily rate from admission through the end of the first month. Any credit balance is refunded after discharge once all payers are settled.

Pensions and Social Security

Retirement income that many seniors use toward the cost of care.

Supplemental Security Income (SSI)

Monthly assistance for seniors and people with disabilities who have very limited income and assets.

Reverse mortgage

Can provide income to help pay for care, including nursing home care for a spouse.

Long-term care insurance

Coverage varies by policy. Some pay only for nursing home care; others also cover home care or assisted living.
