Question: 1 / 400

Which of the following would NOT be covered expenses under Medicare Part A?

Expenses for private physician services

Medicare Part A primarily covers inpatient hospital services, skilled nursing facility care, and hospice care. This coverage includes the costs associated with stays in hospitals and skilled nursing facilities when certain conditions are met, as well as the supportive services and care provided to terminally ill patients in hospice settings.

However, expenses for private physician services are not covered under Medicare Part A. Instead, these services fall under Medicare Part B, which encompasses outpatient care, preventive services, and physician visits. Part A is focused on inpatient care, making it clear that any fees associated with physicians who are not part of an inpatient facility do not qualify for coverage under this part. Therefore, the assertion that expenses for private physician services are not covered by Medicare Part A is accurate.
