An Office of Inspector General report (February 2019) found that Medicare improperly paid for Skilled Nursing Facility (SNF) services when patients did not meet the 3-Day inpatient hospital stay requirement. Review the Skilled Nursing Facility 3-Day Rule Billing fact sheet to help you bill correctly.
