DOES MEDICARE COVER THAT?
How to Get a Definitive Answer to That Question
These days, our health and wellness are at the forefront of every decision we make, but often, affordability wins out. A January 2021 CNBC report found that 49% of people who responded to the survey had concerns about paying medical bills under $1,000. As an enrollee in Medicare, you are guaranteed certain protections and rights to funded medical care and assistance. Yet, as Medicare continually evolves and your healthcare needs change as you age, you may also have concerns about healthcare affordability and coverage. A diagnosis of a chronic condition, like heart disease, may have you worried about what Medicare will cover and what you may need assistance with. Luckily, getting answers to your questions about what Medicare can cover is easy. Here are three ways to discover what’s covered and what isn’t. SEARCH ONLINE: This is one of the easy parts of Medicare. There is a Google-like search engine installed into Medicare.gov that will allow you to search for treatments, tests, and services. Once you type in the medical need you’re inquiring about and hit “enter,” a number of results will appear, allowing you to get the answers you need. You can find this handy tool at Medicare.gov/Coverage.

SEARCH YOUR BOOKLET: Regularly, Medicare updates its guidelines, plans, and descriptions in its “Medicare and You” handbook. While it’s tempting to ignore this booklet as another piece of junk mail, this can be a
valuable tool! Scan the digital or print version of “Medicare and You” to learn more about your coverage. And check it continually as updates are published and your healthcare changes.
SEARCH YOUR PLAN: Medicare’s offerings and coverages vary by plan, so while the first two options can offer you a wide range of knowledge, to get a crystal-clear, no-confusion answer, examine your plan. Within it will be details about what’s covered and what isn’t.
