Financial Considerations
Admissions Criteria
Hendersonville provides care for all adults over the age of 18 who require rehabilitation, long-term care, or skilled nursing care. This includes adults who have had a stroke or neurological incident, orthopedic injuries or surgeries, surgical wounds, and pressure ulcers; or those who require feeding tubes and IV antibiotics.
Hendersonville offers a specialized program for residents with Alzheimer’s Disease or dementia, as well as ventilator care for adults who are ventilator dependent and non-weanable.
Hendersonville can accommodate couples, offering them care in the same room.
After a potential resident is referred to Hendersonville, the admissions team consisting of a post-acute care evaluator, an admissions coordinator and a financial assessment coordinator evaluate the resident’s needs and financial status.
Insurance
Hendersonville accepts all major insurance policies including Medicare and Medicaid. In addition, insurance policies covering state employees are accepted.
Medicare and Medicaid
Medicare can help pay for up to 100 days of skilled care at Hendersonville. For the first 20 days, Medicare may pay for up to 100 days of an approved new benefit period in a skilled nursing facility. In order for Medicare to pay up to 100 days toward your cost of care, the resident must meet the Medicare requirements for payment. Medicare may pay 100% for the first 20 days of a new Medicare benefit period. Days 21-100 of the SNF stay may be paid by Medicare, excluding the co-insurance rate for Medicare (the co-insurance rate for Medicare is adjusted annually).
Medicare benefits are payable only if the following conditions are met:
- A physician certifies that skilled nursing or rehabilitation services are needed on a daily basis.
- The resident has been in a hospital at least three consecutive days.
- The resident has been admitted to Hendersonville within 30 days of discharge from the hospital for the same condition for which he or she was treated in the hospital.
Even though a resident may be eligible for the 100 Medicare Part A days, he or she must continually qualify for the skilled services in order to receive them.
