If you become seriously ill due to COVID-19, you may need to rely on inpatient or outpatient services. Medicare Part A covers inpatient hospital stays, skilled nursing facility stays, some home health visits, and hospice care. Medicare Part B covers outpatient services (including physician visits, emergency ambulance transportation, and emergency room visits). Medicare beneficiaries (including those under traditional Medicare and Medicare Advantage plans) are covered if they require inpatient hospitalization for COVID-19 treatment.
