Which part of Medicare covers hospitalization, home care, and hospice services?

• A. Medicare Part B
• B. Private PPO
• C. Medicare Part A
• D. Medicaid

Answer: (C)

Medicare coverage is organized into parts, with Part A providing hospital insurance. It covers inpatient hospital stays, care in a skilled nursing facility after a hospital admission, hospice care, and some home health services. Because these areas—hospitalization, home-based care when medically necessary, and hospice—are included under Part A, it is the correct match. The other options don’t fit: Part B is outpatient medical services, not the inpatient and home/home-health benefits described; Medicaid is a separate program for people with limited income; private PPOs are private plans, not the Medicare part that covers these services.
