Medicare

Additional Financial Coverage

 

New Hampton Care Center is a skilled Medicare Certified Facility. There are two parts of Medicare,

Part A and B.

 

Part A Medicare skilled is a in-patient status where the level of care is skilled and a resident who has met the basic qualification to get Medicare A benefits is a 3-Midnight stay in an acute hospital under acute care. Then there are 20 days that are paid for Medicare in total and then on the 21st Day the Co-Insurance or supplement to Medicare picks up the first $97.00/Day and then Medicare pays the Difference. The level of care is based on the Ruggs III classifications of level of skilled care. This is how the skilled facility is reimbursed for services. Each resident is assessed on an individual basis. Medicare A covers room and board changes, medications, OT, PS, ST Rehab Services, medical supplies, treatments and nursing care.

 

Part B is an out-patient status that resident may receive OT, ST and PT services and be covered under Medicare part B at 80% of actual fees for services and 20% from supplement or co-pay to Medicare.

 

Our Medicare Coordinator can provide you with additional information regarding this benefit.
