Generally, you can stay in a Swing Bed Program as long as you are making measurable progress as determined by rehabilitation services, nursing, and the physician. You could be in the program for as little as three days, or up to 100 days. After you have reached your goals, Medicare will no longer fund your stay in a Swing Bed Program. Before choosing a facility for Swing Bed, contact the facility to determine if your insurance is contracted; what specific services they offer; and if the facility can meet the needs of the patient or loved one.
