Medicare Part A is sometimes referred to as “hospital insurance” and provides help with the cost of inpatient services, such as:

  • Inpatient hospital stays
  • Skilled nursing services
  • Home health care
  • Hospice care

Costs:
For most people, Part A comes with no monthly premium as long as you or your spouse have contributed payroll taxes to Medicare for at least 10 years. However, Part A does not cover all of your hospital costs – as there are exclusions and out-of-pocket costs you are responsible for.

Enrollment:
Enrollment is easy – you can’t be turned down because of your medical history or a pre-existing condition.

Which Doctors Can I See?:
You have access to any qualified hospital in the U.S. that accepts Medicare (hospital care outside of the U.S. isn’t usually covered).
