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.
Medicare lifetime reserve days require a $658 daily co-insurance payment in 2017. All 10 standardized Medicare Supplement insurance plans will pay for this co-insurance cost. They also will cover hospital health care costs up to an additional 365 days after your Medicare benefits are used up.
