Which service is NOT covered by Medicare Hospital Insurance (HI)?

• A. Inpatient Hospital
• B. Home Health Agency
• C. Hospice
• D. Prescription Drug Coverage

Answer: (D)

Medicare Hospital Insurance (Part A) covers inpatient hospital care, certain home health services, and hospice care. It does not cover outpatient prescription drugs. Prescription drug coverage is provided separately under Medicare Part D (and some plans offer drug coverage through Medicare Advantage). So the service not covered by HI is prescription drug coverage.
