MISSISSIPPI UPDATE 

 It is the goal of EAGLE PUBLISHING COMPANY to keep our publications fresh and up to date.  To do so we will print changes in the law and corrections to the book that come to our attention after the book has gone to print. 

Update to: A Will Is Not Enough In Mississippi

CHAPTER 9: MEDICARE UPDATE
The 2006 figures for a stay in a skilled nursing facility (i.e., a nursing home) under the Original Medicare Plan are as follows:
You pay nothing for the first 20 days of skilled nursing care and $119 for days 21-100; i.e., you pay up to $9,520 for the next 80 days of a stay in a skilled nursing facility.
You are responsible for all costs thereafter.

The 2007 Medicare value for a stay in a skilled nursing facility for days 21 through 100 is $124 per day.

In 2008, those on the original Medicare plan will pay:

$128 per day for days 21-100 in a skilled nursing facility for each benefit period. This is $4 higher than the 2007 value.
