What is Medicare Part A? Medicare Part A is hospital insurance provided by Medicare through the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services. Part A coverage includes (but may not be limited to) inpatient care in hospitals, nursing homes, skilled nursing facilities, and critical access hospitals.
Medicare Part A will pay for most of the costs of your hospital stay, after you pay the Part A deductible. Medicare Part A is also called hospital insurance, and it covers most of the cost of care when you are at a hospital or skilled nursing facility as an inpatient. Medicare Part A also covers hospice services. For most people over 65, Medicare Part A is free.
