A benefit period begins the day you're admitted as an inpatient in a hospital or SNF. The benefit period ends when you haven't gotten any inpatient hospital care (or skilled care in a SNF) for 60 days in a row. If you go into a hospital or a SNF after one benefit period has ended, a new benefit period begins. You must pay the inpatient hospital deductible for each benefit period.
Elimination period. Think of the elimination period, or waiting period, as a deductible. It refers to the number of calendar days you will pay for your own long-term care before drawing benefits. You also select your own elimination period, which can run anywhere from zero to 100 days or more. Increase your waiting period to decrease your premiums, Slome suggests.
