Lifetime reserve days. (Redirected from Lifetime Reserve Days) Lifetime reserve days are additional days that the United States health care system Medicare Part A will pay for when a beneficiary is in a hospital for more than 90 days during a benefit period. Beneficiaries are limited to a total of 60 reserve days over the course of their life.
For days 60 to 90 Medicare pays all except $267 per day (which your supplement will pay). You also have 60 lifetime reserve days that you can use if you are in the hospital longer than 90 days in a year. Medicare will pay all except $534 per day (which your supplement will pay). After you've used your reserve days Medicare will not pay anything more, although your supplement will pay an additional 365 days.
