Understanding Medicare Reimbursement and Claims

Reimburse for Each Part of Medicare

Medicare Part A

Medicare part A pays for hospital services, skilled nursing care, limited home healthcare, and hospice care. All costs in this part are covered by Medicare when you get them from a participating provider that accepts Medicare assignment. Keep in mind that you have to pay for the portion, including coinsurance, deductible, and copay expenses. When a service provider is not part of Medicare or when the facility cannot file a claim, you need to file a claim on your own. [2]
