Question

Medicare Part A covers which of the following services?

1) Outpatient Services
2) Durable Medical Equipment
3) First 100 days in SNF
4) Services after 100 day in SNF

Answer 1

Medicare Part A covers the first 100 days in a Skilled Nursing Facility (SNF), not outpatient services, durable medical equipment, or services after 100 days in SNF.

Step-by-step explanation:

Medicare Part A covers a range of hospital-related services for individuals who are eligible for Social Security benefits. Services covered include hospital stays, hospice care, and limited home health visits. Among the options provided in the question, Medicare Part A specifically covers the first 100 days in a Skilled Nursing Facility (SNF) for a benefit period if certain conditions are met.

It does not cover outpatient services, these are generally covered by Medicare Part B. Part A also does not typically cover durable medical equipment (usually covered under Part B). Additionally, services after 100 days in an SNF are not covered by Medicare Part A; at that point, the patient would be responsible for all costs.
