What Are the Reimbursement Rates for Nursing Services?
The reimbursement rates for nursing services under Medicare and Medicaid can differ. Medicare Part A generally covers skilled nursing facility (SNF) care up to 100 days per benefit period, but only after a qualifying hospital stay of at least three days. Medicaid reimbursement rates for nursing care are typically lower and vary by state. Additionally, Medicaid often covers long-term care in nursing homes, which Medicare does not.
