What Medicare covers in a long-term care hospital
Medicare.gov says Medicare Part A (Hospital Insurance) covers care in a long-term care hospital. These hospitals typically care for patients with more than one serious medical condition, who may improve with time and care and eventually return home.
- They may offer services like respiratory therapy, head trauma treatment and pain management.
- After discharge, many people get care in a skilled nursing facility or custodial care in a long-term care facility.
What the patient pays each benefit period in 2026, according to Medicare.gov:
- Days 1–60: $0 a day, after the $1,736 deductible.
- Days 61–90: $434 a day.
- Days 91–150: $868 a day while using lifetime reserve days (60 days in total, usable once in a lifetime).
- After day 150: all costs.
Medicare.gov says the deductible isn't charged again if it was already charged for a prior hospital stay in the same benefit period, for example when the patient is transferred directly from an acute care hospital or admitted within 60 days of leaving a hospital.
