60 days = the maximum length of time that Medicare will cover 100 percent of your care in a hospital after youâve met the deductible for each benefit period. 60 days = the maximum number of lifetime reserve days that you can draw on to extend Medicare coverage for hospital care in any one benefit period.
The way that Original Medicare measures your use of hospital and skilled nursing facility (SNF) services. 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 received 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. There's no limit to the number of benefit periods.
