Which part covers admission to SNF?

Explanation:
Medicare Part A handles admission to a skilled nursing facility after a qualifying hospital stay. The key point is how long that Part A coverage lasts per benefit period: up to 100 days of SNF care, starting after a hospital stay of at least three days. The first 20 days are fully covered, then days 21–100 involve a daily coinsurance; after day 100, coverage ends unless a new qualifying hospital stay resets the benefit period. So the maximum coverage is 100 days, which is why that option is the correct one.
