Does Berkshire Place take Medicare and Medicaid?
Berkshire Place is certified for Medicare only. Medicare can cover a short skilled stay after a qualifying hospital stay, but Medicaid won't pay for a long stay here.
Certification isn't a promise of an open bed. Ask how many Medicaid beds it has free and whether it keeps residents who move from Medicare to Medicaid. Our guide explains what Medicare pays for.
