What Does Medicare Part A Cover for Cancer Patients?
Medicare Part A generally covers inpatient hospital stays, skilled nursing facility care, hospice care, and some home health care. For cancer patients, Part A can cover costs associated with being admitted to a hospital for cancer treatment, such as surgery or specialized inpatient care. It is important to note that while Part A covers inpatient hospital costs, it does not cover the entire cost, and patients may be responsible for deductibles or coinsurance.
