…with Recovery Care!
There are many options when it comes to where you recover after time in the hospital, and a Recovery Care Insurance Plan can help ensure that happens!
What is a Recovery Care Insurance Plan?
- Assistance needed to recover from an accident, illness, or surgery
- Rehabilitation from a Hospital Stay
- Terminal Medical Condition
Different Recovery Care Options:
- Skilled nursing facility for sub-acute rehabilitation.
- Go home and receive in-home assisted care and therapy.
- Go home with no home care, but receive therapy as an out-patient in a private practice or hospital.
Consider These Facts:
| 70% | Of seniors (Over 65) need some form of recovery care during their lifetime.* |
| 69 Days | Is the average length of service required for Home Health Care.** |
| 270 Days | Is the average stay in a nursing home before discharge.*** |

Protection from Financial Burden:
| Only 9% | Of skilled nursing home care, on average, is covered by Medicare. |
| 91% | Of nursing home care, on average, is covered by the patient. (YOU!) |
Medicare reimburses hospitals on a pre-determined, fixed amount. This provides incentives for hospitals to serve patients more efficiently – which reduces length of stay in hospital and increases need for Home Health Care / Skilled Nursing Facilities*
