Medicare Part A (Hospital Insurance) covers skilled nursing care provided in a skilled nursing facility (SNF) under certain conditions for a limited time. Medicare-covered services include, but aren't limited to: 1  Semi-private room (a room you share with other patients). 2  Meals.
Medicare also uses the term skilled nursing facility for nursing homes that are certified to receive its payments. MediâCal uses a similar term, nursing facility (NF), for nursing homes that are certified to receive MediâCal payments. Most, but not all, licensed skilled nursing facilities in California are certified to participate in Medicare and MediâCal. A Distinct Part/Skilled Nursing Facility (DP/SNF) is a hospitalâbased facility, usually operated in a designated unit within a hospital.
