		<description><![CDATA[Skilled Nursing Care is covered under Medicare Part A and can only follow at least a three day stay in a hospital. Skilled Nursing Care is rehab, the goal at a Skilled Nursing Facility is to get you better so you can come home. Medicare covers Skilled Nursing Care at 100% for the first 20 days. If your doctor thinks you should stay longer than 20 days Medicare starts charging a co-pay of $157.50 per day for days 21-100. Skilled Nursing Care should not be confused with Long Term Care because Medicare will only allow you to stay up to 100 days in a Skilled Nursing Facility. Be sure your Medicare Supplement policy covers the additional days (21-100)  in a Skilled Nursing Facility.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When re-habilitative care is prescribed, medicare provides coverage for 100 days. The first 20 days at 100% and the next 80 days are subject to co-pays. Medigap insurance usually will provide benefits equal to the co-pays.

Benefits after 100 days are &quot;out-of pocket&quot; and usually quite expensive. Long . Term Care policies are often purchased to provide benefits after the 100 days of coverage provided by Medicare.]]></description>
