Medicare Part A: Are Preventive Services Covered?

The health insurance industry as a whole is being pushed these days to coverage preventive services and Medicare Part A is already on board.  With Medicare Part A you will be automatically covered for certain services that will help maintain your overall health.  These types of services will help you as well as the general society by stopping certain illnesses that could be passed around.

Here are a few of the common preventive services covered by Medicare Part A:

Cardiovascular screenings are covered as a preventive service by Medicare Part A.  This will help with your general good health by requiring your doctor or hospital to assess your body’s general health.

Diabetes screenings are covered as a preventive service by Medicare Part A.  This is a service that doesn’t generally help society by stopping a possible communicable disease, but it does help detect a very common personal health issue.

Flu shots are covered as a preventive service by Medicare Part A.  The flu causes a scare almost every year as it has caused such damage to the world as a whole in the past.  You can do your best to protect yourself by getting a flu shot covered by Medicare Part A.

Glaucoma tests are covered also as a preventive service by Medicare Part A.  As this is a common issue among Medicare patients it is covered.
