Medicare policies
We bill Medicare for inpatient and outpatient services. Supplemental insurance will also be billed at the patient’s request if information is provided. Patients are responsible for any charges not covered by Medicare and/or supplemental insurance.
Medicare Deductible and Coinsurance
- Part A Inpatient Deductible: (pays for inpatient hospital, skilled nursing facility, and some home health care) For each benefit period Medicare pays all covered costs except the Medicare Part A deductible during the first 60 days and coinsurance amounts for hospital stays that last beyond 60 days and no more than 150 days. Note: You have 60 Lifetime Reserve Days available at day 91.
- Part B Outpatient Deductible: (covers Medicare eligible physician services, outpatient hospital services, certain home health services, Durable medical equipment and ambulance services),
- Skilled Nursing Facility Co-insurance (Days 1-20 Medicare covers, days 21-100 covers on a per day rate, and covers all costs for each day beyond 100 days)
In addition to your deductible, you may be liable for co-insurance.
