What "Medicare Part A" Covers
Medicare Part A is an essential part of Original Medicare, providing coverage for hospital stays and certain medical services. If you’re 65 or older or qualify due to a disability, understanding what Part A covers can help you plan for healthcare costs and ensure you get the care you need.
What Does Medicare Part A Cover?
Medicare Part A helps cover inpatient hospital care and other essential medical services, including:
✅ Hospital Stays – Covers semi-private rooms, meals, nursing care, and hospital services.
✅ Skilled Nursing Facility Care – Short-term stays for recovery after hospitalization.
✅ Home Health Care – Limited coverage for medically necessary home care.
✅ Hospice Care – Comfort care for those with a terminal illness.
Part A is designed to help reduce the financial burden of hospital-related expenses, but it does not cover doctor visits or long-term care.
Who is Eligible for Medicare Part A?
You’re eligible for Medicare Part A if you:
✔️ Are 65 or older and eligible for Social Security or Railroad Retirement benefits.
✔️ Have received Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) for 24 months.
✔️ Have End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) or ALS (Lou Gehrig’s disease).
