Long Term Care problems Solved
Ask the expert, Dennis H. Lentin

How much facility care will Medicare and a supplement pay for?

Medicare will pay for the first twenty days of facility care and all but $97.00 of the next eighty days. Your supplement or HMO will pay the $97.00 for the 80 days, so all in all you will have 100 days in a facility, if your have been in the hospital for at least three days and are improving while you are in the facility. In other words Medicare and the supplements will not pay for and custodial care.
