Which service is NOT covered by Medicare Part A?

• A. Inpatient hospital care
• B. Hospice care
• C. Ambulance services
• D. Some home healthcare

Answer: (C)

Medicare Part A covers inpatient hospital stays, hospice care, and some home health services. Ambulance transport isn’t included in Part A; it’s generally covered under Medicare Part B, which pays for medically necessary ambulance transport to a hospital or between medical facilities. So the service that isn’t covered by Part A is ambulance services.
