When Medicare Won't Cover a Skilled Nursing Stay

This Medicare loophole can lead to surprise medical bills for seniors. This video describes how a 3 consecutive day inpatient hospital stay is necessary for Original Medicare to cover subsequent skilled nursing facility stays.

Skilled nursing facility stays are covered under Part A of Original Medicare. A skilled nursing facility stay has a maximum of 100 days of coverage per benefit period.
