What does Medicare Part A cover (continued)?

Medicare Part A offers a wide range of hospital services, but it is also important to keep in mind certain limitations and additional considerations:

1. Limited home care services: If you meet specific requirements, Medicare Part A may cover certain home health care services, such as physical therapy, occupational therapy, and mental health services. These services are provided when they are considered medically necessary and are related to a health condition treated during a previous hospital stay.
2. Hospice: Medicare Part A provides coverage for hospice services, including medical care, pain relief medications and emotional support for those who are terminally ill. Hospice focuses on providing comfort and support to patients and their families during the last six months of life.
3. Shared costs: Although Medicare Part A covers many hospital services, it is important to remember that there is cost sharing, such as deductibles and copayments. In 2023, the deductible per benefit period is $1,600. In addition, if your hospital stay exceeds 60 days, there will be a daily copayment. These costs may vary depending on the length of your hospital stay and other factors.
