Medicare Part A provides which type of coverage?

• A. Hospital Insurance
• B. Prescription Drugs
• C. Outpatient Services
• D. Mental Health Services

Answer: (A)

Medicare Part A provides hospital insurance. It mainly covers inpatient hospital stays and related services, plus additional coverage such as skilled nursing facility care after a hospital stay, hospice care, and some home health services. This is distinct from prescription drug coverage (Part D) and outpatient medical services (Part B). For mental health, outpatient care is typically covered under Part B, while inpatient mental health treatment falls under hospital insurance when you’re admitted.
