Prescription Drugs Inpatient

[LewB]

I am dealing with a prospect that is turning 65 in a few months and is a RN. She says she is into homeopathic medicine and will not take prescription drugs.

The only situation she could see herself taking prescription drugs is as an inpatient in a hospital.

My question is, if a person is prescribed drugs as an inpatient is it covered under Part A, Part B or Part D?

They are typically covered under Part A if they are truly an inpatient.

I looked all over the Medicare. Gov site and could not find anything. Never thought about checking the CMS site.

Thanks for the link.

There are publications on M.gov that cover this.
