Rehab for the first 20 days after a qualifying hospital stay is usually covered by Medicare. Then on a sliding scale of cost to the patient, Medicare can help fund rehab provided for up to an additional 80 days.
If the patient needing rehab has a long term care insurance policy, the policy may help pay for rehabilitation services after the elimination period is satisfied. These rehabilitation services may be provided in the home or other living arrangements besides skilled nursing facilities, with some long term care insurance policies. Individual policy provisions will determine what is covered.
