More resources for financing care are available now than ever before. We understand that everyone has unique circumstances that help determine how they can best afford care costs for themselves or their loved ones. Some options outlined below may provide flexibility and access care financing resources.
Medicare requires a medically necessary inpatient hospital stay of three consecutive days or more, within 30 days of entering skilled nursing. Medicare will cover most of the Skilled Nursing Facility costs with certain restrictions. Medicare Supplemental Insurance policies, also known as "Medigap," are private policies designed to fill in some of the gaps in Medicare coverage.
Most forms of private insurance follow the same general rules as Medicare.
Neither private insurance plans nor Medicare covers Long-Term Care costs. However, there is long-term care insurance, which is designed to cover some or most long-term and support services, including personal and custodial care.
Alternatively, if you do not have a Long-Term Care Policy and have enough income and savings, you will need to pay on your own, from your income, savings, and possibly the equity in your home. If you do not have ample income, savings, or investments to cover Long-Term Care costs, the patient can apply for Medi-Cal coverage.
To qualify for Medi-Cal, the recipient must demonstrate that their resources available are limited. To get more information and to apply for Medi-Cal coverage, please visit coveredca.com
