A part of Medicare insurance coverage, Medicare Part A covers inpatient care that a person receives in a hospital, at home through limited home health services, or in a skilled nursing facility. Often, people above the age of 65, who are already receiving retirement benefits from the Railroad Retirement Board or Social Security Administration, are automatically eligible for Medicare Part A. The inpatient care can be received in some certain health care settings, which include mental health care facilities, acute care hospitals, long-term care hospitals, inpatient rehabilitation facilities, and critical access hospitals.
Medicare Part A beneficiaries receive coverage for expenses that are pertinent to their inpatient care, such as medications, nursing services, semi-private room, and meals. However, it does not cover the cost of private-duty nursing, personal care items (such as shampoo, TV, telephone), blood, and private room (with the exception of cases where such room is medically necessary).
