Medicare Benefits
For Nursing Care

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.

social security office. The

Elizabeth City Social
Security Office is 338-2161.
