Original Fee-for-Service (FFS) Medicare encompasses a broader scope of coverage, reflecting the comprehensive nature of Part A and Part B services. Part A primarily covers hospital services, including inpatient care, skilled nursing facility care, hospice, and some home health care. Part B extends coverage to a wide range of outpatient services, which include physician visits, preventive services, certain medical equipment, and outpatient therapies.

By identifying the correct answer as encompassing both Part A and Part B services, it captures the full spectrum of medical care and services available to beneficiaries under Original Medicare. This holistic understanding is essential for both beneficiaries who rely on Medicare for their healthcare needs and for professionals navigating the Medicare landscape. It illustrates the comprehensive framework of Original Medicare rather than restricting it to specific types of services, such as emergency services or skilled nursing only, which are part of the broader offerings under the two parts.
