    A medicare supplement plan will cover the remaining costs that Medicare doesn't cover. For approved skilled nursing facilities stays, Medicare covers days 1-20 at 100%. After that, for days 21-100, you are responsible for the remaining 20%, or 133.50 per day. Depending on the supplement plan you choose, it may cover it for you.
