ATTACHMENT C – TO CONTRACT WITH FACILITY

Daily Equipment Rental Fees

If the Facility needs to rent specific equipment for care and/or treatment of the resident, the charge will be based on the Facility's cost to rent or purchase the equipment.

Medication Management

The Contract Pharmacy will send a separate bill for drugs and medicines prescribed by a physician. In some instances, your insurance may pay for part of the bill. The Contract Pharmacy participates in many co-payment insurance companies.

The Facility has a separate pharmacy administration fee of $5.00 per day. This fee includes the cost of oral medication administration, monitoring, recording and storage. This fee also includes a monthly review of the resident's entire drug regimen by a Professional Pharmacist. In addition, if ordered by the Physician, the Facility will provide several over-the-counter medications free of charge. The daily administration fee will be added to your daily room rate that appears on your monthly billing statement. [This fee is also noted as the Daily Medication Management Charge on Attachment B].

Miscellaneous Charges

• Guest Meals (each) $8.00

In addition, the Facility offers many convenient contracted services including in-house rehabilitation therapy; barber and beauty salon services; podiatry, dental and optometry care; laboratory and diagnostic x-ray testing; and regular visiting personal physicians. Medicare Part-B reimburses many of these services. The Facility shall submit the necessary billing information to those providers in an effort to reduce your medical care costs. However, the rates and charges for the above services are available from the specific provider. We can assist you in obtaining their phone number.

If you have any questions regarding any of the charges and/or fees, please speak with someone in the Admission Department (Guest Registration). Thank You.

Important Information Regarding Medicare Coverage

Medicare does not automatically cover nursing home care. In order to receive Medicare benefits in a skilled nursing facility, you must meet the technical requirements AND you must meet the skilled criteria as defined by Medicare. The maximum number of days that you may receive Medicare coverage is 100 days. However, there is NO guarantee that you will receive the full 100 days.

During an eligible traditional Medicare admission, Medicare pays 100% of the bill for the first twenty (20) days only. On day 21, there is a daily co-insurance rate that applies. For those residents who have supplemental Medicare insurance, it is your responsibility to know your benefits as it relates to Medicare co-insurance.

For those residents where there is no supplemental MC insurance, the resident will be responsible for private payment of the daily co-insurance rate. The co-insurance rate changes yearly. Please check with the Admission Department to find out the current fee.
