[quote=Anonymous]OP here -- thanks - let's leave tricare out of it. He was in the snf self-pay at least October-February, and then he got covid in february and the snf put him on a different floor there for a couple of weeks for covid treatment and isolation. They billed that as inpatient time under Medicare Part A and then sent him back to his self-pay room, but he got hospitalized a few weeks earlier. I know for a new medicare period to begin you are supposed to have been out of a snf or hospital for 60 days, but i think (?) that means Medicare has not been paying for a snf or hospital for 60 days. Otherwise the facility couldn't have started billing again under Part A when he got covid, right? I do understand that Medicare won't pay for long term skilled nursing or for any custodial care -- I just think the recent hospitalization made him qualified for another 100 days of skilled nursing at the snf under Medicare Part A.
