There are many factors that govern and determine how much insurance benefit coverage you will receive in any skilled nursing facility. These elements must be assessed on a case-by-case basis. Most insurance policies require a pre-certification prior to admission into a skilled nursing facility. This is obtained by our admissions office as part of the admission process. Our admissions staff, along with our business office manager, will go over your individual benefit coverage prior to admission and answer any questions you may have.
