health insurance FAQs

My mother has Medicare and is needing to go into a nursing home and she will probably have to be there for a very long time. How will she pay for her care?

If your mother has to go into a skilled nursing facility and requires a skilled level of care, Medicare will pay for only a certain number of days. Your mother should apply for Medicaid right away and not wait until Medicare coverage runs out.
