Are you unsure if Medicare will cover a medical test or procedure? The Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services ("CMS") has a new app available to help answer those questions. However I’m pretty sure it won’t cover everything, but it might be a handy resource, especially for those of you that are on either Original Medicare and/or a Medicare Supplement. However those of you that are on a "Medicare Advantage" plan, it is still best to call your provider’s member services phone number listed on the back of your member card to determine what is and is not covered under your specific plan.
The app is called "What's Covered" and is available for free on both the App Store and Google Play. So you may want to download it onto your mobile device and check it out.
The app delivers cost and coverage information right on your smartphone.
Search for "What's Covered" or "Medicare” at the app store (for Apple devices) or at Google Play (for Android devices) and download the app to your phone.
The app delivers general cost, coverage, and eligibility details for items and services covered by Medicare Part A and Part B. Search or browse to learn what's covered and not covered, how and when to get covered benefits; and basic cost information. You can also get a list of covered preventative services.

Note: Medicare Insurance information can be overwhelming and confusing to many people. As an independent licensed agent I can explain things to you in simple terms so you feel comfortable making a decision. Then I can help you choose and enroll in a plan that you feel fits your needs.
By the way, it doesn’t cost you any more if you enroll in a Medicare Insurance plan through me as an independent agent versus directly with an insurance company either over the phone or via the Internet, since I get paid by the insurance companies for your enrollment. Plus you will have personalized service by a local agent. If you would like my assistance, please call me at 941-404-5334.
By calling this number, I understand I will be directed to a licensed insurance sales agent.
