Skilled nursing services and home health services provided up to seven days a week for no more than eight hours per day and 28 hours per week. Medicare can cover up to 35 hours in unusual cases, which is probably what you were referring to in your question.
The average paid Medicare nursing home stay was 23 days in 1997, only 1/5 of the allowable time. Nationwide, Medicare paid 12% of nursing home receipts in 1998. To qualify for Medicare nursing home coverage, the individual must spend at least 3 full days in a hospital and must have a skilled nursing need and have a doctor order it. The transfer from a hospital must occur within a certain time period. There is a misconception that Medicare automatically covers up to 100 days of all nursing home stays.
