Many consumers mistakenly believe that, should they require long-term nursing care, Medicare will cover the bulk of their costs. However, Medicare only covers the first 20 days of residence in a nursing home, and only if the stay was preceded by a minimum of three nights in the hospital and if the stay in the nursing home is directly related to the reason for hospitalization. If a patient shows potential for improvement, Medicare will then pay a per-day deductible for an additional 80 days.
Once a patient shows no sign of improvement, or after 100 days (whichever comes first), all Medicare payments cease. Further nursing home costs, which typically exceed $100,000 per year, fall entirely to the patient or their family. Platinum Benefits Services can help clients obtain Medicaid long-term care benefits, regardless of their income or assets.
