Medicare will pay for some services during every stage of dementia care, such as cognitive assessments, hospital stays, prescription drugs and other services. Medicare will cover separate visit with your regular doctor or a specialist to do a full review of your cognitive function, establish or confirm a diagnosis like dementia, including Alzheimer’s disease, and develop a care plan. During this visit, your doctor may: • Perform an exam, talk with you about your medical history, and review your medications. • Create a care plan to help address and manage your symptoms. • Refer you to a specialist, if needed. • Help you understand more about community resources, like rehabilitation services, adult day health programs, and support groups. You can bring someone with you, like a spouse, friend, or caregiver, to help provide information and answers. Part B deductible and coinsurance may apply.
