II It -1 Mi LpyW f . . -.-jafcJISSS..., I------. --t r , J The Medicare program provides several types of benefits. However, many people do not understand the benefits they have in regards to skilled nursing facilities. First, a skill nursing facility is an in stitution that can provide for medical needs which require daily skill nursing care. Therefore, a person A .who does not require skill .nursing care would not.be. , entitled to benefits even when confined to a skill nursing facility, Skill nursing care requires trained personnel who provides a higher level of care than just routine care. Routine care is providing for such things as the patients- comfort and general safety. In addition, things such as meals, cleanliness, and helping the patient in or out of bed are considered routine care. ' - You are entitled to these benefits if you have been in a qualified hospital for three days . in a row and' your doctor determines you need and orders skill nursing care for you. Generally, you must be admitted to the skill nursing facility within 14 days after you leave the hospital. Also, your treat ment must be for the same condition you were being treated for in the hospital. If you meet these requirements, Medicare pays for all covered services for the first 20 days of a benefit period. If a person stays over 20 days, Medicare pays for all covered services by $10.50 a day for the next 80 days. Covered services do not include a private room, private duty nursing or such convenience items as television in the patients room. A final but very important thing to remember is Medicare pays for these services only as long as the need for skill nursing lasts. SPEAKERS Area "C" Jaycees await their turn at the Speak-Up competition during the area meeting. Representing Perquimans County was Ray Ward and Robert Halsey. (Newbern photo) For example, a person may be entitled to skill nursing facility benefits when ad mitted to a facility. However, after 10 days he had made a good recovery and no longer needs skill nursing. Medicare will not make additional payments even if the person decided to stay in the skill nursing facility.
