A beta-lactam antibiotic and first-generation cephalosporin with bactericidal activity. Cefazolin binds to and inactivates penicillin-binding proteins (PBP) located on the inner membrane of the bacterial cell wall.
This incentive is reflected in the drop in average hospital length-of-stay among the elderly from 10.7 days in 1980 to 6.1 days in 1999.1. As hospital length-of-stay fell, the role of skilled nursing facilities (SNFs), home health agencies, and other postacute care providers expanded.
If your break in skilled care lasts for at least 60 days in a row, this ends your current benefit period and renews your SNF benefits. This means that the maximum coverage available would be up to 100 days of SNF benefits.
