If you are one, of many, that believes that Medicare pays for the nursing home stay you might be surprised to find out in most cases it does not.
Medicare is the largest health insurance program in the nation and insures over 40 million Americans. It generally does not pay for long-term care and when it does it only covers it under very limited circumstances. Medicare was designed to pay for acute care in the nursing home, or care that is medically necessary, not custodial care. There are different kinds of Medicare and each one has its own set of requirements. And when Medicare ends, planning becomes critically important.
