Medicare Part A

Medicare Part A is a part of Medicare Original. It is offered by the Federal Government and provides hospital and urgent care. Cost, coverage, and purchasable options should all be taken into consideration.

Am I eligible for premium-free Medicare Part A?

If you are 65 and older, you are automatically eligible for Part A. You are also eligible if you have received Social Security or Railroad Retirement Board disability benefits for at least 24 months, or if you have End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) and meet certain requirements.

Medicare Part A’s premium fee is often waived. You are eligible for premium-free coverage if:

  • You receive retirement benefits from Social Security or the Railroad Retirement Board.
  • You are eligible for Social Security or Railroad Retirement benefits you haven’t filed for yet.
  • You or your spouse previously (or currently) had Medicare-covered government employment.

How much does Medicare Part A cost?

You can purchase Part A if you are not eligible for premium-free coverage. The typical cost is less than $458 a month, and, to buy Part A, you are often required to pay a monthly premium for Medicare Part B.

What does Medicare Part A cover?

In general, Part A covers short-term emergency or urgent care. What does Medicare Part A cover specifically?

  • Inpatient hospital care
  • Nursing facility care
  • Nursing home care (inpatient, not long-term or custodial care)
  • Some home health care

It is important to check your specific insurance details and eligibility. Your Medicare coverage is based on three factors, all of which are important to consider:

  • Federal and state laws regarding government insurance
  • National decisions regarding coverage
  • Local (in-state) decisions on whether or not something is covered in your area
