Before making an appointment at your clinic, consider asking whether it's a "hospital-based clinic" (also called "provider-based status").

• A hospital-based clinic is owned by a hospital and is considered part of it, even if it's not located on the main hospital campus. These clinics can be located in a hospital or facility, or can be a stand-alone clinic.
• Medicare requires that hospital-based clinics bill their charges differently than other types of clinics. As a result, your costs could be higher if you receive care from a hospital-based clinic.

If you need skilled nursing facility care after a hospital stay, there are a few things to keep in mind:

• Before going to a skilled nursing facility, Medicare requires you to stay in the hospital as an inpatient for three consecutive days. Otherwise, Medicare won't cover your skilled care charges.
• Sometimes a hospital will put you on observation status before admitting you. This observation period doesn't count toward your three-day inpatient stay. Talk with your doctor to learn whether you've been admitted.
• After you meet the three-day inpatient stay requirement, your skilled nursing facility charges are covered for up to 100 days each benefit period.
