Non-Covered Items.

Medicare is great but it doesn't cover everything! There are a few things that your private insurance may be able to help with, so check up on those benefits before you get too excited about Medicare's coverage.

It really pays off in the long run when looking over what health care plans offer because there could well still come some surprises after all this time spent earning credits and building savings accounts only for them

These are the items and services that Medicare does NOT cover:

 

Bathroom safety equipment

Syringes/needles

Elastic garments

Emergency communicators

Raised toilet seats

Adult diapers

Hearing aides

Van lifts or ramps

Exercise equipment

Humidifiers/Air Purifiers

Massage devices

Stair lifts

Low vision aides

Grab bars

 

The CMS.gov website is an excellent resource for finding out about all of your options.
