While the Original Medicare Plan provides extensive hospital insurance benefits and medical insurance, it was not designed to pay all health care costs. For example, Medicare does not cover or only partially covers:
Deductible and coinsurance amounts
Custodial nursing home care
Dental care
Vision care
Skilled nursing facility care
Home health care
Long Term Care
At Home Recovery
Emergency care during foreign travel
Hospitalization
Medical Expenses
Blood
Physician's charges in excess of the Medicare-approved amount
