Medicare Part A

Medicare Part A (hospital) helps to pay for hospital care.

Part A coverage includes inpatient hospital coverage and skilled nursing facility coverage after a hospital stay.

Medicare Part A also helps cover hospice care, home health care and the first three pints of blood each year.

You will pay a share of your Medicare Part A services, such as the following Medcare deductible and cost sharing for 2012:

• Part A deductible ($1156)
• Daily copay for days 61 - 90 ($289/day)
• Daily copay for days 91 - 150 ($578/day)
• All costs for any days beyond the 150th day

Without Medicare supplemental insurance coverage, your hospital costs alone could be more than $30,000 if you had a hospital stay of 150 days. 

Texas Medicare supplement insurance (Medigap) or a Texas Medicare Advantage plan can help to protect yourself against financial exposure for the things Medicare doesn't pay.
