Coverages Provided by Medicare Part A. When Medicare was signed into law, the publicly funded health insurance program had just two parts to it, Medicare Part A and Part B. While Medicare coverage has expanded in recent decades, Part A and Part B are still the focal points of the insurance program.
Medicare Part A. Part A Medicare covers inpatient services provided in a hospital, as well as follow-up care in a skilled nursing facility (SNF). It also covers hospice care, home health care, and inpatient care in a religious non-medical healthcare institution. Medicare Part A holds patients responsible for a deductible, an out-of-pocket expense by patients, before benefits are paid directly by Medicare.
