Beth Deems at Mission Health Care discusses Medicare. Medicare Part A covers inpatient hospitalization and inpatient skilled nursing rehabilitation on a short-term basis at 80%. Part B (an option for which you pay extra) provides outpatient coverage, including doctor’s office visits. Part D covers prescriptions. And Plan F is a supplemental policy you can buy to help cover things such as co-pays and the 20% that Medicare may not cover. Like all Federal programs, it is subject to change.
