I don't know about Canada, but when you become an inpatient, any hospital charges would be submitted by the hospital to Medicare Part A. It doesn't matter whether you were admitted by the emergency room or by your personal doctor. If there is one thing that all hospitals know how to do, it is how to get paid by Medicare.
