Medicare will pay for 100% of the costs for care in a skilled nursing facility for the 1st 20 days per spell of illness. From the 21st day up to the 100th day, they will pay all but a co-insurance, which is billed either privately, or to a secondary insurance such as Medi-Cal. A patient is NOT guaranteed coverage for a complete 100 days. Coverage only lasts as long as there is a skilled need such as physical therapy. Typically, coverage can last from two to five weeks at a time, but it can last up to the complete 100 days.
