Medicare Part A covers inpatient hospitalizations. Once you satisfy the per admission deductible ($1184 in 2013) Medicare covers essentially all of your routine inpatient charges.
If you are discharged and then readmitted within 30 days for the SAME medical condition you are not charged a new Part A deductible.
Keep in mind Medicare only covers charges that are medically necessary.
They will pay for a semi-private room, ICU and in some cases a private room when it is prescribed by a doctor for medical reasons.
Following satisfaction of your hospital deductible, Medicare covers charges for the first 60 consecutive days. If your hospital stay is continuous for 60 days you are required to pay a per day copay of $296 (in 2013), then $592 per day (in 2013) for days 91 - 150.
