The Medicare Part A deductible for 2013 is $1184 per admission.
Once you satisfy the deductible, Medicare covers all approved inpatient charges in full for the next 60 days of that hospital admission.
If you are discharged within the 60 day time frame and readmitted within 30 days to the same or a different hospital for the same condition you do not have to satisfy a new deductible.
If you are admitted for a different medical condition you must satisfy a new $1184 deductible.

The Medicare Part B deductible for 2013 is $147. This deductible runs with the calendar year. In other words, once satisfied for the calendar year, it no longer applies.
Part B of Medicare covers things like outpatient procedures, labwork and doctor visits.
The Part B deductible resets each new year. Many Medigap plans will cover this deductible, in addition to the Medicare Part A deductible and Parts A & B coinsurance.
