If you 're a hospital inpatient , blood is covered under Medicare Part A . In general , you would n't be responsible for the cost of blood when the hospital gets it from a blood bank at no charge . If the hospital has to buy the blood , then you would pay the costs for the first 3 pints . If you 're an outpatient , blood is covered under Medicare Part B. Similar to blood coverage under Part A , if your provider gets the blood from a blood bank at no charge , you would not be responsible for the cost of blood .
