Medicare Part A (Hospital Insurance) covers skilled nursing care provided in a skilled nursing facility (SNF) under certain conditions for a limited time. Medicare-covered services include, but aren't limited to: 1  Semi-private room (a room you share with other patients). 2  Meals.
The Doctor of Science degree (DSc or ScD) is recognized by the U.S. Dept. of Education as a research doctorate equivalent to the Ph.D. Sometimes, in the U.S., the Doctor of Science is awarded as an honorary degree. Outside the U.S. it is an earned doctorate (as me again states above).
The Ed.D. Traditionally, educational programs in the United States progress from the bachelorâs degree to the masterâs degree to the doctoral degree. The Ed.D. is usually considered equivalent to a Ph.D. Some universities offer an Ed.D. and others offer a Ph.D. in education. A few universities (e.g. Harvard) are planning to phase out the Ed.D. and only offer a Ph.D. degree in education in the future.
