Medicare will cover skilled care only if all of the following are true:

  1. You have Medicare Part A* (Hospital Insurance) and have days left in your benefit period.
  2. You have a qualifying hospital stay. This means an inpatient hospital stay of 3 consecutive days or more. You must enter the SNF within a short period of time of leaving the hospital.
  3. Your doctor has ordered the services you need for SNF care, which require the skills of professional personnel such as registered nurses, licensed practical nurses, physical therapists, occupational therapists, speech-language pathologists, etc.
  4. You require the skilled care on a daily basis and the services must be ones that can only be provided in a SNF on an inpatient basis.
  5. You need these skilled services for a medical condition that:
    – was treated during a qualifying 3-day hospital stay, or
    – started while you were getting SNF care for a medical condition that was treated during a qualifying 3-day hospital stay.
