Part A benefits are fully covered in both the original Medicare program and in Medicare Advantage plans. But you pay for hospital care (deductibles and copays) in different ways, depending on which system you’re enrolled in, or, if you’re in the Medicare Advantage program, which plan you’re in.

Medicare Part A helps pay for the costs of inpatient care in the hospital and short-term skilled nursing facilities — including a semiprivate room, bed, meals and nursing care. It also pays for some home health services and hospice care, at no charge to you if you meet the conditions for coverage.
