Skilled Medicare/Swing Bed Program
What is a Swing Bed Program?
Madison Medical Center’s Swing Bed program provides many benefits to the families we serve. Our program provides an alternative to prolonged acute hospitalization or short term nursing home placement for post-acute extended care. The program’s purpose is to assist patients in improving their physical, emotional and social function to become as independent as possible. We provide rehabilitation and recovery services based on the patient’s individual needs.
Who Would Benefit from Swing Bed Services?
Patients requiring acute medical care are usually hospitalized for a short time. Upon discharge from an acute hospital stay, some patients require further medical care to help them return to the level of functioning they had prior to their hospitalization. The MMC Swing Bed Program helps patients achieve this goal through its hospital based provision of skilled nursing care and rehabilitation.
Does Insurance Cover Swing Bed Services?
Medicare benefits pay for the cost of swing bed services in full for up to 20 days and up to 80 additional days with co-payment, as long as Medicare criteria is met. Many private health insurance providers also pay, pending pre-certification. Self-pay is also an option.
What are qualifying terms for the Swing Bed Program?
- The patient must have an acute inpatient stay related to the need of skilled care.
- The patient must be accepted by MMC Medical Providers.
- The patient must be willing and able to participate in therapy and all components of their treatment.
