Original Medicare covers a lot, but not everything.
Here are 6 common services that are generally not covered by Medicare Part A and Part B:
• Routine dental care
• Routine vision care
• Hearing aids
• Long-term custodial care
• Most care outside the U.S.
• Routine foot care
There can be exceptions depending on the service, medical necessity, and your specific coverage.
Medicare Advantage plans may also include benefits that Original Medicare does not.
If you or a parent are on Medicare, it's worth knowing what your plan actually covers before you need it.
Save this for later or share it with someone on Medicare.
