I'm at high risk for heart disease based on my family history. What additional preventive services might Medicare cover for someone with my risk factors?

Answered by 9 licensed agents

Based on family history of heart disease, you may consider a Medicare Supplemental Plan, to go along with your original Medicare, this would give you the best coverage if you encountered major issues so your medical expenses would have the best coverage available to you.

If you’re at high risk for heart disease, Medicare DOES cover some extra preventive services that can really help.

They’ll cover things like a cardiovascular screening every 5 years, that checks your cholesterol and other key levels. And you also get a yearly visit with your doctor to talk about heart health and how to stay on track with things like diet and exercise.

If your doctor sees any other red flags, there may be more services Medicare can cover, too, but it depends on your situation.

Medicare Part B covers several preventive services for heart disease, including cardiovascular screenings and behavioral therapy. Cardiovascular screenings check cholesterol, lipid, and triglyceride levels every five years, helping to detect conditions that may lead to heart attack or stroke. Additionally, individuals can receive a yearly cardiovascular behavioral therapy visit with their primary care physician to help lower their risk for cardiovascular disease.
