My doctor wants me to get several preventive screenings. Will Medicare cover all of these at once?

Many other screenings are covered with no copay or deductible.
Medicare also covers the Annual Wellness Visit (AWV).
However, you may need to pay a share of the cost for some screenings or diagnostic tests, and for any follow-up care needed as a result of a screening.

Medicare will only pay if it is MEDICALLY NECESSARY.
There are preventive screenings that your doctor may order during your annual physical, and they would be free.

The specific screening
The recommended frequency (some are every year, others every 2+ years)
Whether you meet eligibility criteria for each test
Example:
You could potentially receive a mammogram, diabetes screening, and an annual wellness visit all in the same calendar year—and all could be covered at no cost.
Exceptions & Notes
Some screenings (like colonoscopies with polyp removal) might lead to coinsurance or costs if something is found during the test.
If your doctor orders tests not classified as preventive or performed more frequently than Medicare allows, you may have to pay.
