Q&A with Susan Kainrath
Are home modifications (like stairlifts) ever covered by Medicare for safety reasons?
Answer: Hello, usually modifications such as this are not covered, but you should check your plan for details.
Does Medicare cover weight-loss programs or bariatric surgery if I’m classified as obese?
Answer: Medicare can cover weight loss programs and surgery in certain cases. Usually you will need to have a certain BMI (Body Mass Index) and be under the care of a specialist. Once criteria is met, the specialists office will submit paperwork to your plan for approval.
Can Medicare cover wearable medical devices like insulin pumps or seizure monitors for chronic conditions?
Answer: Yes, Medicare CAN cover these devices. Sometimes a patient will need to pay a co-pay to cover a percentage (at times 20 percent) in order to take delivery of these devices. Check with your plan or a qualified agent to ensure that you are following the correct steps to have your device covered if applicable.
