Learn About Medicare Supplement Products with Kent A Bennett & Associates
This month, we look at Medicare coverage limitations. Medicare provides essential health care coverage for millions of Americans, but it’s important to understand what Medicare doesn’t cover. Kent A. Bennett & Associates in Montoursville, PA, is here to guide you through the gaps in Medicare coverage. Knowing what isn’t covered can help you plan for additional insurance and avoid unexpected costs.
While Medicare covers a range of services, certain areas like dental care, vision, and hearing aren’t typically included in standard plans. While it doesn’t cover care related to ears, eyes, and teeth, some Medicare supplement companies are adding coverage to their products. These products could be a benefit, at no cost to you.
No Routine Dental Coverage in Medicare
If you’re looking for dental coverage, you’ll find that Medicare does not cover routine dental services. This includes cleanings, fillings, tooth extractions, and dentures. For most dental needs, you must seek out separate dental insurance or pay out of pocket. Some Medicare supplement companies, however, offer additional benefits that include dental coverage at no extra cost to you. Kent A. Bennett & Associates can help you explore these options to ensure you’re adequately protected.
Vision Care Not Included in Standard Medicare Plans
Medicare doesn’t typically cover routine eye exams, glasses, or contact lenses. If you rely on corrective lenses, this gap in coverage could become costly. While Medicare does cover some eye surgeries, like cataract removal, routine vision care requires additional insurance. Medicare supplement companies often include vision care in their products, allowing you to receive eye exams and even discounts on glasses or contacts. Reach out to Kent A. Bennett & Associates to discover which plans offer these valuable benefits.
Medicare Coverage Limitations Exclude Hearing Services
Hearing care is another area where Medicare falls short. Medicare doesn’t cover hearing aids, fittings, or routine hearing exams. Given the cost of hearing aids, this can be a significant expense for seniors. Luckily, some Medicare supplement plans provide coverage for hearing-related services, giving you access to hearing aids and fittings without additional cost.
Kent A. Bennett & Associates can guide you through the process of selecting the right Medicare supplement plan to ensure you’re not left paying high out-of-pocket costs for hearing care.
