Medicare is a public health insurance plan in the US. It has two parts. They are part A and part B. In this post, we are going to explore the coverage contained in part A of Medicare. Let me state here that to access Medicare par A, you must have paid Medicare taxes for at least 10 years. When you meet this requirement, you have free access to Medicare part A. The following is the coverage provided in Medicare part A:

1) It is meant for people aged 65 and above: Medicare Part A is essentially meant for people that have worked and are up to the age of 65. When once you hit 65, you are free to subscribe.

2) Inpatient Health Care: This means that Medicare Part A covers the cost of a subscriber being admitted to the hospital.

3) Short-Term Skilled Nursing Care: Medicare pays for you to receive care from trained nurses for a reasonable period.

4) Home Health Care: If you have been discharged and you still need medical care to recover fully, Medicare pays for it. It has a limited time though.

So these are essentially the basic coverage provided by Medicare Part A.
