I exercise regularly and maintain a healthy lifestyle. Does Medicare offer any incentives or additional benefits for preventive health behaviors?

Answered by 4 licensed agents

Health is important. That is why Medicare covers for preventive healthcare procedures to be more proactive than reactive.

A few Medicare Supplements and some Medicare Advantage plans have a benefit for gym memberships. Some Medicare Advantage plans will pay you a specific dollar amount for preventative visits. I would not choose a plan based on these benefits. Focus on the quality of the medical coverage. Please contact your local agent for more information about the plans in your area.

While Medicare does encourage maintenance of good health by covering an annual physical each year the real support comes from Medicare Supplement or Medicare Advantage plans that cover gym memberships and healthy living options such as dieting and smoking cessation.

Medicare does not. However, there are private insurance companies that manage Medicare plans that do offer incentives and additional benefits.
