Answered by 2 licensed agents

The likelihood that Medicare will cover something like gene therapy In my opinion is getting increasingly better. I’ve been in this field for about eight years and I’ve seen A lot of growth and adaptation from Medicare. I think in the near future Holistic medicine, naturopathy, gene therapy, Stem cell Based procedures will all have some kind of benefit that will be covered by Medicare.

Yes - I am sure the likelihood is good of coverage to become more common.

Medicare sometimes offers coverage for certain high cost treatments through specialized programs.

Medicare is likely to expand coverage for gene therapy as more evidence supporting its benefits and effectiveness emerges and as the treatments become more common and potentially more affordable.

Also have your Doctor submit an authorization for treatment to confirm coverages.
