Benefit Period

The period of time a health plan will pay for covered benefits. Benefit periods are usually one year. They don\'t always reflect a calendar year, so be sure and check your policy.

This is also a Medicare term, with a more specific definition. A Medicare benefit period covers 90 days. It begins the first day you receive inpatient hospital services that Medicare covers. The services also can be from a skilled nursing facility. It ends when you have been out of the hospital or skilled nursing facility for 60 days. A new benefit period begins the next time you get inpatient hospital care. There is no limit to the number of benefit periods you can have
