Medicare Part A covers which type of services?

• A. Inpatient services such as hospital stays, skilled nursing facility care, hospice care and home health care
• B. Outpatient visits
• C. Prescription drug coverage
• D. Vision and hearing services

Answer: (A)

Medicare Part A is hospital insurance that primarily covers inpatient services. It pays for inpatient hospital stays, care in a skilled nursing facility after a hospital stay, hospice care, and certain home health care. Outpatient visits are covered mainly under Part B, prescription drugs under Part D, and routine vision and hearing services are not covered by Original Medicare. So the answer reflects the inpatient services: hospital stays, skilled nursing facility care, hospice care, and home health care.
