What is Medicare Part A

What is Medicare Part A?

Medicare Part A will cover hospital inpatient services. This includes stays in a hospital or nursing
facility.It also pays for some home care and hospice. Now Medicare Parts A and B are sometimes
called "Original Medicare." Original Medicare is different from private insurance plans like health maintenance organizations, or HMOs.  HMOs will restrict you to doctors or hospitals in their
network. Traditional Medicare allows you to go to any doctor or hospital that accepts Medicare.
Original Medicareis also called a "fee-for service," which has to do with how the doctor or
hospital gets paid. This is what this plan covers in detail:

Nursing Home or Skilled Nursing Facility

The coverage is limited to a maximum of 100 days in a period. The first 20 days are paid in full,
and the remaining 80 days will require a co-payment. Medicare Part A will not cover long-term
care, non-skilled care, daily living, or custodial activities.

Hospice Care

This is for the terminally ill who have six months or less to live. This Coverage will include pain
relief and symptom control drugs, medical and support services, grief counseling, and other services.

Home Health Services

Home health services include limited reasonable and only medically necessary part-time care and
services such as skilled nursing care, physical or occupational therapy, home health aide service,
speech language pathology, medical services.
