  • Medicare Part A & B?

    The first part is Part A, which is your hospital insurance.

    Your hospital insurance will cover things like the cost of hospice, home health care, skilled nursing facility stays or even semi-private room for stays. Part A will also cover blood transfusions requiring more than 3 pints of blood.

    The next part of Medicare is going to be Part B, this part is responsible for your doctor’s visits.

    It is going to mainly be used for outpatient services that are considered to be medically necessary.
