What's covered

Unlock comprehensive knowledge about your Medicare coverage with the official "What's Covered" mobile app, a highly useful tool that provides detailed insights into the health care benefits provided by Original Medicare Part A and Part B. Whether you're on the go or at home, the app is designed to answer your Medicare-related queries with ease and precision.

The ability to obtain clarity on specific Medicare coverage questions is just one of the many features offered. Users also have access to information about their share of medical costs, and can learn about the range of items and services covered by Original Medicare. There's the functionality to review notes and find additional information sources, as well as explore a list of free preventive services covered by Medicare.

Discover the breadth of items and services covered under Original Medicare, empowering individuals to understand provisions like mammograms, home health care, and diabetes supplies. Embrace the preventive health coverage, which includes essential services at no additional cost, aimed at early detection of health issues and prevention of diseases.

This handy tool helps users find out about coverage for services such as smoking cessation support, cervical cancer screening, and bone mass measurement frequency. It's important to consult a doctor or health care provider for advice regarding the preventive services tailored to a user's needs.

Understanding costs is also simplified with What's Covered. Part A includes inpatient care in various facilities, while Part B focuses on outpatient services, equipment, and other medical necessities. Application users are guided on deductibles and coinsurance, provided valuable information on financial responsibilities, and offered clear explanations on prescription drugs under Part B, cardiac rehab costs, and out-of-pocket expenses for services such as colorectal cancer screenings.

Be aware, though, that "What's Covered" does not include information on Medicare Advantage Plans, other Medicare health plans, or Medicare Supplement Insurance (Medigap) coverage. The app also does not offer CPT code searches or exact costs for surgeries or procedures.

For individuals enrolled in Medicare Advantage Plans, those plans may offer additional benefits and may have a dedicated app to guide users through its specific rules and coverages.

Enjoy the benefits of understanding healthcare provisions and make informed decisions—the "What's Covered" app serves as the indispensable companion for anyone navigating the Medicare system.
