➤ Why is inpatient hospital care not covered by Medicare Part B?
Inpatient hospital care is covered under Medicare Part A because it pays for facility-based services during a formal hospital admission. Part A handles room, nursing, and inpatient hospital costs. Part B focuses on outpatient and physician services. The provider’s classification—admitted inpatient versus outpatient/observation—determines which Part pays.
