He is passionate about opening access to high-quality exam preparation resources and helping learners prepare more effectively for professional certification exams. In this episode you will learn: - Part A uses benefit period deductibles rather than calendar-year deductibles, resetting after 60 consecutive days without inpatient care. - Part B requires a monthly premium with 20% coinsurance and no maximum out-of-pocket limit under Original Medicare. - Hospital observation status counts as Part B outpatient care, which fails the three-day inpatient requirement for Part A skilled nursing facility coverage. - Original Medicare excludes routine dental, vision, hearing, custodial care, and cosmetic surgery entirely. - The memorable mnemonic A is Bed and B is Doc helps quickly distinguish inpatient hospital coverage from physician and outpatient services.
