What is Medicare Part A Coverage?
Quick Guide To Part A
Medicare is health insurance offered by the federal government to most people who are 65 and older and to some younger people who have disabilities. Part A is the original Medicare insurance coverage and it helps pay for hospital bills. When you sign up for Medicare, you automatically get Part A. Most people will not have to pay a monthly cost (premium) for Part A, because they or their spouse paid Medicare taxes while they were working. Part A covers costs when in the hospital, such as:
- Hospital rooms
- Meals
- Nursing services
- Hospice care and home health care
Part A is one of four types of insurance coverage offered by the federal government for people who qualify. It is the only part that is automatically covered and where there are no monthly costs for most people.
