Medicare has a provision of Lifetime Reserve Days. Medicare recipients have a total of 60 of these days available to be used only once in the recipientsâ lifetime. The Medicare entitlement for in-patient care is limited to 90 days per benefit period. At the end of this period the must leave the hospital.
However, some individual Medicare benefits do come with limits. Hospital lifetime reserve days: Medicare Part A covers a stay in the hospital for any single spell of illness or injury within a time frame of 90 days. This is known as a benefit period, and thereâs no limit to the number of benefit periods you can have.
