The world of Medicare is challenging to navigate, even on a good day. Thankfully, Corey Shader, CEO, and Founder of Insurance Pipeline, Inc., is here to explain the basics of each major part of Medicare and help you find a plan that suits your needs.
Medicare Part A: Hospital Insurance
Medicare Part A is a free premium for Americans age 65 and over who paid Medicare taxes for at least ten years. It covers the following services:
Hospice care
Inpatient hospital care
Although Medicare Part A is free, it does require you to pay a deductible when you need hospital care. You may have to pay the deductible multiple times in one year if you go to the hospital more than once, and your copay could increase if you stay longer than 61 days.
