Medicare Part A covers up to 100 days of skilled nursing facility care in each benefit period after a qualifying inpatient hospital stay, when daily skilled care is needed. Medicare doesn't pay for long-term custodial care in a nursing home. Medicaid pays for nursing home care for people who qualify. CMS lists whether each home is certified for Medicare, Medicaid or both.
No. Carevo does not sell placement or ranking. Rated providers are ordered by their CMS rating, and the rest by where they are based.
