Are you aware of the Jimmo Settlement Agreement?

Posted: August 12, 2026, 10:29AM

The Jimmo Settlement Agreement is a 2013 court settlement that stated that Medicare pays for skilled nursing and therapy to maintain a patient's condition or slow their decline, even if the patient will not improve.  Coverage cannot be denied because a person lacks the potential for improvement.

The Center for Medicare Advocacy offers a Jimmo FAQ.  There is additional information on the Center for Medicare Advocacy's website on the Jimmo Settlement.
