Q&A with Bridget Shanks
Are x-rays, exams, or therapies done by chiropractors covered under Medicare?
Answer: Usually medicare only covers the manipulation of the spine when it comes to chiropractic care.
Does Medicare cover Ozempic and other drugs prescribed for weight loss?
Answer: Medicare does plan to start covering those drugs for weight loss beginning 7.1.26
I applied for a Medigap plan and got denied because of my health history-how is that even legal when I've paid into Medicare for years?
Answer: Traditional Medigap plans allow members to enroll in any Medigap plan available in your county without answering any health questions only when you are within 6 months of initial medicare part B start date. Outside of that initial window- underwriting rules apply with a few guaranteed issue exceptions. Carriers can determine whether or not they will accept you & the rates you will pay based on your health.
Medicare advantage plans on the other hand -do not require any health questions- so that’s always an option for you during the annual enrollment period. You might also be eligible for a special election period during the year.
