Questions from Tampa
Yes. Medicare's care management programs are Medicare-covered services available to eligible patients here. If you have a supplemental insurance policy (Medigap) or Medicaid, your standard coinsurance may be fully covered.
Not necessarily. Your advocate works with you by phone and video and knows the coverage rules, programs, and health systems in your state. There is no office to travel to, and no appointment you have to drive across town for.
