Jack's Blog on Medicare Plan Choices

Sometimes it is good to understand some services NOT covered by Medicare.

On my blog I list some common misunderstandings concerning Original Medicare.

People new to Medicare are often dismayed to find out that routine dental care is not a part of Medicare.  Here are 12 things Not covered by Medicare.

1. Prescription Drugs
2. Routine dental care, most dental care or dentures
3. Routine eye exams, eyeglasses or contacts
4. Hearing aids or related exams or services
5. Most care while traveling outside the United States
6. Help with bathing, dressing, eating, etc. (custodial care)
7. Comfort items such as a hospital phone, TV or private room
8. Long-term care
9. Cosmetic surgery
10. Most chiropractic services
11. Most acupuncture or other alternative treatments
12. Routine foot care

Many of these items are covered by your Medicare Advantage Plan.  Before choosing an Advantage or Supplement plan, ensure you have a thorough understanding of Medicare itself. When it’s time to explore your options, don’t fall for a sales pitch from a single company or an agent representing only one provider.
