Skilled Nursing Facility (SNF) Care

Skilled Nursing Facility (SNF) Care

Medicare Part A covers skilled care at skilled nursing facility (SNF) such as Bethany Home under certain conditions for a limited time. Skilled care is health care given when you need skilled nursing or rehabilitation staff to manage, observe, and evaluate your care.

Coverage is available following at least a 3-day covered inpatient hospital stay for a related illness or injury and a doctor has decided that you need daily skilled care.

Physical Therapy/Occupational Therapy/Speech-Language
Pathology Services

Medicare Part B helps pay for medically-necessary outpatient physical and occupational therapy, and speech-language pathology services, when both of these conditions are met:

• Your doctor or therapist sets up the plan of treatment.
  
• Your doctor periodically certifies the plan.

You can get outpatient physical therapy/occupational therapy/speech-language pathology services from a participating skilled nursing facility such as Bethany Home..
