What Does Medicare Part A Cover?
What Medicare Part A covers is inpatient hospital care. You can think of Part A as your hospital “room and board". It can cover a semi-private hospital room with a bed, three meals per day, and the nurse that comes around to visit you. Medicare Part A benefits include medications given to you by the hospital and any necessary lab services or medical supplies. However, before Medicare Part A can pay anything, you must first pay Part A deductible, which is $1,632 for 2024.
