Yes. If you stop receiving skilled care or if you fail to make progress from the skilled nursing care being given, the Medicare Utilization Review Committee may discontinue your Medicare coverage in the nursing home. This is not the nursing home's decision. The Medicare Utilization Review Committee makes the final decision.
