In response to "Base Medicare does not cover LTC to my understanding, but they could have a supplemental plan -- nm" by Hibernating Baron

I've got no idea what covers their stay in the LTC place, but we're provided the Medicare B info as that's what is paying for the vaccine.

They also do the flu and pneumonia shots.

Responses:

Medicare will cover up to 100 days each year in skilled nursing following hospitalizations, and it's often the same type of facility. -- nm - Hibernating Baron Jan 24, 18:00 4
- There was no mention of insurance at the county facility today. "You're over 75? Right this way" -- nm - Meg Jan 24, 18:15 3
  - Since this is See Vee Ess providing the vaccine, we're probably billing for the administration fee. - Tim Jan 24, 18:35
  - The insurance is only to charge for the administration fee, maybe they are forgoing it. But the registration website I think takes the insurance info. - James Bond (aka Igor) Jan 24, 18:33 1
    - I don't believe so, I certainly didn't give them Kaiser number or anything. Just name and birthdate I believe. All they wanted today was ID. -- nm - Meg Jan 24, 19:10
