If you are hospitalized and it’s an inpatient stay, you’re going to use your Medicare Part A benefit. Medicare Part A does not pay for all of your medical bills while you are in the hospital. Part A comes with a $1,340.00 deductible for 2018. You will have to pay the first $1,340.00. That will cover you for 60 days; after that you will have a per day charge while you’re in the hospital.
