   It depends on how you mean this question.  The care you receive from doctors while an inpatient at a hospital is covered under Medicare Part A.  This is considered part of the medical treatment.  If you have an appointment with a doctor who has an office at the hospital, this is covered by Medicare Part B.

   Yes, the care you receive from physicians while an inpatient in a hospital is considered to be part of the care you receive in the hospital and is covered by Medicare part A. If you have an appointment/office visit with a physician it is covered by Medicare part B.

   Medicare Part B will cover doctor visits while you are in the hospital. Under Part B of Medicare after you have met the annual deductible of $166 Medicare pays 80% on all approved Part B medical expenses while you are responsible for the other 20% if you don't have a Medicare Supplement. Medicare Supplement policies pay the 20% Medicare leaves off.
