Medicare Part A will pay for a SNF (skilled nursing facility) stay but only under certain conditions.
You must first have a hospital inpatient stay of at least 3 days as an inpatient. Following that your doctor must indicate you need additional nursing care in a SNF environment. You must be discharged from the hospital to the SNF before Medicare will pay.
