Are all types of blood tests covered by Medicare?

Answered by 5 licensed agents

I would say that Medicare covers traditional medical care. I do know that any Supplement or MAPD will cover most or all blood tests

No, not all types of blood tests are fully covered by Medicare. Medicare covers blood tests that are deemed medically necessary for diagnosis or treatment of a health condition, but routine screenings or tests done during annual physicals may not be fully covered.

If a blood test is ordered by your doctor. The blood test would be covered. However, depending on what type of Medicare plan there may be a cost.

Original Medicare covers "medically necessary" laboratory tests. Medicare Advantage Plans will cover "medically necessary" tests, as well. However, check your plan's "Statement of Benefits" for copays, coinsurance, or other limitations.

No, not all types of blood tests are covered by Medicare. Medicare does cover tests that are deemed Medically Necessary, such as tests to diagnose or treat a health condition, or preventative tests like cholesterol screenings or screenings for heart disease (every 5 years). If it is not deemed Medically necessary then the test may not be covered.
