Skilled Nursing Facility benefits are paid under which Medicare part?

• A. Part B
• B. Part D
• C. Part A
• D. Part C

Answer: (C)

Medicare Part A covers inpatient services, including skilled nursing facility care, when you have a qualifying hospital stay. That’s why benefits for a Skilled Nursing Facility are paid under Part A. Part A is the portion that handles inpatient coverage after hospitalization, whereas Part B covers outpatient medical services, Part C is the Medicare Advantage option, and Part D covers prescription drugs. In SNF care, there are rules about days covered and potential coinsurance after the initial period, but the key point is that this type of benefit falls under Part A.
