Mother, age 86, suffered a stroke and was admitted into hospital. 10 days later, was discharged and admitted into a inpatient rehab facility #1. Stayed only 8 days since medical complications required return to hospital. Was at hospital again for 16 more days. Discharged from hospital and transferred to different inpatient rehab facility #2: length of stay 18 days. Another Medical complication again required transfer to hospital (now 3rd hospital). Length of stay 10 days. Discharged again and transferred to SNF. Understanding that Medicare covers SNF only for 100 days. She was inpatient rehab facility #1 for 8 day, inpatient rehab facility #2 for 18 days, and now at SNF (currently at 6 days). Do all these days, 8 plus 18 plus 6 days=32 days, count toward the max of 100 coverage for SNF? Thank you Need help understand Part A.
