Medicare will pay for blood "after" the first 3 pints per calendar year.  You will need to pay for the 1st 3 pints. 
Medigap Plan A pays for the first three pints of blood not paid for by Medicare. 
Medical Expenses:
Medicare Part B, in most cases, pays for 80% of a set amount (the "Medicare approved" amount) for individual procedures, supplies, or service billed by a doctor or other provider that is not a hospital. 
Medigap Plan A pays the coinsurance (generally 20% of the "Medicare approved" amount) under Medicare Part B.
