One of the biggest questions families ask after a hospital stay:
👉 “How is post-acute care actually paid for?”
The answer depends on Medicare vs. Medi-Cal, the type of care needed, and whether the recovery is short-term or long-term.
We created a simple guide to help families understand:
✔ When Medicare pays for post-acute care
✔ What settings are covered (Rehab, SNF, Home Health, LTACH)
✔ How long coverage lasts—and when it stops
✔ When Medi-Cal may step in for longer-term needs
The goal? Fewer surprises. Better planning. Less stress during recovery.
If you or a loved one is facing a discharge decision, having clarity around coverage can make all the difference.
