Medicare Part A primarily covers what type of care?

• A. Eye Exams
• B. Inpatient Hospital Care
• C. Dental Cleaning
• D. Outpatient Procedures

Answer: (B)

Medicare Part A is hospital insurance and primarily covers inpatient hospital care. When you’re admitted for a stay, Part A helps pay for the costs of the room, meals, nursing, and services received during the hospitalization. It also covers certain related areas such as care in a skilled nursing facility after a qualifying hospital stay, hospice, and some home health services. The other options reflect care typically covered by Part B or other parts—eye exams and dental cleaning aren’t benefits of Part A, and outpatient procedures are generally covered under Part B.
