Medicare, though costly to the federal government, has provided peace of mind about healthcare to millions of seniors. But there are traps in the program that can be expensive.
Thank goodness for Medicare . The program, though costly to the federal government, has provided peace of mind about healthcare to millions of seniors. But there are traps in the program that can be costly.
But there’s one Medicare “trap” common to both of these plans. And it can be expensive if you don’t understand it. Even worse, the trap springs at your weakest moment — typically, when you are transported to the hospital by ambulance and brought into the emergency room.You are quickly transferred from ambulance to an examination room, surrounded by doctors and nurses dealing with the immediate medical need.
Medicare covers the first 100 days of this kind of skilled nursing care. But what you don’t know, or may have forgotten, is that Medicare only covers this care if you are transferred directly from an in-patient status after at least three days in the hospital.
