This short explains the average skilled nursing facility stay and why length of stay varies so much from patient to patient. This video is part of Episode 2 of my Skilled Nursing Facility (SNF) series.

Medicare does not automatically cover unlimited skilled nursing facility (SNF) care. Under Medicare rules, coverage is limited to up to 100 days per benefit period — and costs can change along the way.

This short explains the 100-day Medicare SNF rule, what it really means, and why families are often caught off guard. This video is part of Episode 2 of my Skilled Nursing Facility (SNF) series.

Paying for a skilled nursing facility (SNF) stay is one of the most confusing parts of post-hospital care — especially when Medicare is involved.

In Episode 2 of the Skilled Nursing Facility (SNF) series, I explain how Medicare coverage for SNFs actually works, including eligibility requirements, coverage limits, and what families are often surprised by after admission.

This episode builds directly on Episode 1, where I explained what skilled nursing facilities are and when they’re used.

👩‍⚕️ In this episode, you’ll learn:
• When Medicare covers skilled nursing facility care
• The 3-day hospital stay requirement
• How long Medicare may pay for an SNF stay
• What coinsurance and out-of-pocket costs may apply
• Common Medicare misunderstandings families face

I’m Erika Tice, MBA-HCM, creator of Ask ET+, with decades of experience in healthcare operations and long-term care advocacy. My goal is to help families understand their options clearly — before decisions become urgent. ��
