Do You Qualify?

Are You Receiving What You Are Paying For?

Medicare is meant to give you the healthcare coverage you’ve earned — but many people don’t realize they may qualify for additional benefits, lower costs, or extra programs that can save them money every month. Others may be paying for plans that don’t actually meet their needs.

Is Your Test, Item, or Service Covered?

Medicare coverage can vary depending on where you live and the type of plan you have. Some services are covered nationwide, while others depend on local rules, medical necessity, or your specific Medicare plan.

The list below includes tests, items, and services that Medicare covers no matter where you live. If you don’t see your test, item, or service listed, don’t assume it isn’t covered — coverage can depend on your medical situation.

Your doctor or healthcare provider can explain:

  • Why you may need a certain test or service

  • Whether Medicare is likely to cover it

  • What your out‑of‑pocket costs might be

Understanding your coverage helps ensure you’re getting the benefits you’re paying for — and not missing out on services you qualify for.

This list shows many, but not all, of the items and services that Medicare covers.
