Pay Source
 |
Casa de Paz accepts Medicare, Medicaid, and some private insurance. Therapy Services can be billed under Medicare part A and B, as well as some third party insurance. |
Skilled Care
After a three night hospital stay, and certain other criteria are met, Medicare will pay up to 100 days of care on a skilled unit. Casa de Paz’s skilled unit is designed for people who need inpatient care following an acute illness/injury.
Medicare will pay for all of your care for the first 20 days.
For days 21-100 there would be a $128 per day co-pay and Medicare would pay the rest. Many supplement insurances will pick up the $128 co-pay for days 21-100.
