For Medicare Patients

The first 20 days of care are free. Medicare pays 100 percent of the cost of the room, therapies, X-rays, laboratory fees, medications, and physician visits. After the first 20 days, patients can stay up to 100 days with a co-pay (supplemental insurance may cover co-pay).

Who is a transitional care candidate? Patients need a physician’s referral and must have a three-night qualifying stay in a hospital (at Skyline or elsewhere) to be Medicare eligible. Anyone may contact Skyline Health regarding transitional care. Patients currently at another hospital can ask to coordinate a transfer to Skyline.
