Skilled Nursing Facilities
Skilled Nursing Facilities (SNFs) are places for people to live temporarily while they’re getting rehabilitation and medical treatments after hospitalization for an illness or injury. Medicare Part A covers SNF care for a limited time, under certain conditions. Skilled care is often given in a nursing home, but Medicare Part A doesn’t cover long-term or custodial care in a nursing home. Part A will generally cover your drug costs if you’re getting Medicare-covered skilled nursing care in a SNF.
