Which services are covered under Medicare-Part A?

Medicare Part A primarily covers inpatient services, which includes hospitalization costs. This means that when a patient requires care in a hospital, whether for surgery, acute illness, or other serious medical conditions requiring an overnight stay or longer, Medicare Part A is responsible for covering these costs. This involves room and board in a hospital, nursing services, and other necessary services during the inpatient stay.

Outpatient physical therapy is covered under Medicare Part B, which handles outpatient care and services. Routine dental check-ups and vision screenings typically do not fall under Medicare Part A either, as these services are generally covered under Part B or are not covered at all, depending on the specifics of the service. Therefore, inpatient care in hospitals is the only service listed that aligns with the coverage provided by Medicare Part A.
