What are Medicare Parts A and B
Together, Parts A and B are a fee-for-service plan. NYSHIP supplements this coverage and requires the enrollee and eligible dependents to enroll in both Part A and B when Medicare is primary to NYSHIP. Medicare Part A covers inpatient care in hospitals or skilled nursing facilities, hospice care, and home health care. Medicare Part B covers doctors’ services, outpatient hospital services, preventive services, durable medical equipment and some other services and supplies not covered by Part A.
