What does Medicare Part B Cover?

[@alexroland8058]

Great information, Danielle! Knowing which part of Medicare covers what can be so confusing.

[@BoomerBenefits]

Thank you for watching!

[@gardensofthegods]

I'm only one third of the way through this but this is giving me the impression then regular Medicare ( without Part B ) when you retire hardly covers anything ?

[@nonenone4219]

Isn't it just silly that Traditional Medicare doesn't seem to cover all the things that elderly people desperately need as they age. Vision, dental, hearing aids ect..Something is definitely broken in the system. Just my thoughts. Love your easy to understand and informative videos. Thank you❤

[@BoomerBenefits]

Hi there - we completely understand! Danielle goes to Washington every year to fight for these changes. We hope to see more coverage in the future. :)

That's because healthcare in America is a scam just like everything else. Maybe the biggest. Also utilities, banks, insurance companies. you name it. its all about getting all your money BEFORE YOU DIE. that's the game. Case in point . . your loved one is in the hospital for any reason . . as soon as the hospital has charged for every last penny they can extract from medicare . . your loved one will be discharged ASAP. & they dont always follow rules for patient dismissal that Medicare has established either. they wont care if your loved one even has a place to go to or not. I've seen it with my own eyes. We're currently being inflated out of our life savings. Thanks to joe biden.

Yes it sounds like regular Medicare without Part B hardly covers anything ... ?

[@alanrosenberg540]

Great information. Thanks. At 0:33, note that the subtitles have substituted "Harvey" for "Part B." One item that the video didn't mention as not being covered is an annual physical. Though it did mention that a yearly wellness visit is covered. Please consider devoting another video to covering the differences between these two services.

[@BoomerBenefits]

Hi Alan - thanks for watching. That is a great idea. We will look into doing a video on that.

Does plan B cover Cat scans ?

[@gardensofthegods]

​@@williamsmith7553I didn't see all of it yet but that is a good question

[@PatrickJDoyle-bw3fu]

I added Medicare part B because the veterans administration said without it, l couldn't get tricare for life.

[@BoomerBenefits]

Hi Patrick - That is correct. To have your Tricare Benefits, you need Part B.

This is by far the BEST channel EVER!!! I turned 65 last year…why is my first bill high? My income is low! They billed me $ 1.485 for 3 months 😢

[@BoomerBenefits]

Hi fatimamiguel6309 - When calculating IRMAA, they look back 2 years. in 2021 were you at a higher income or have income producing property or gains of some sort?

[@fatimamiguel6309]

@@BoomerBenefits thank you so much!!! All set!!!

[@gardensofthegods]

​@@BoomerBenefitsI'm confused they actually look at how much you have in your bank ?

[@gardensofthegods]

​@@BoomerBenefitsplease can you tell me if a person is living in a rental and doesn't own any property can you say roughly how much they would be paying for their Medicare and Part B ?

[@sandygrimes7196]

My son is 33 with disabilities and they started deducting 164 from his SSI, this is outrageous

[@BoomerBenefits]

HI Sandy - would your son qualify for Medicaid?

[@gardensofthegods]

​@@BoomerBenefitsshe never got back with you but it sounds like he would have to be getting paid a pittance to live on to qualify for Medicaid ... ?

[@gardensofthegods]

​@@BoomerBenefitshow can she find out if they have been deducting too much ?

[@nonenone4219]

I have had open heart surgery with a tricuspid valve replaced. I now have to have yearly in office US Echocardiograms. Will Medicare part B pay for these?

[@BoomerBenefits]

Hello! As long as your provider sees it as medically necessary, you should be covered. The deductible may apply.

[@normarutledge]

Does Part B cover treatment for neuropathy. I was told it doesn’t by a podiatrist who is not my regular podiatrist I only went to this one because my podiatrist was out of town

[@BoomerBenefits]

Hi there - as long as it is medically necessary, you should be covered by Medicare.

[@yazminmojica4458]

Thnx 👍

[@BoomerBenefits]

thanks for watching!

[@latriciapowell3283]

all the 100% preventive things covered don't apply to the part b deductible right?

[@BoomerBenefits]

Hi there - you are correct! Those items will not be applied to the deductible.

[@karadouglas4449]

how can i tell if a provider accepts medicare insurance??

[@BoomerBenefits]

hello! You will want to ask if they accept traditional Medicare. If they do, they will cover you!

[@karadouglas4449]

@@BoomerBenefits thx

[@MMAGUY13]

Medicare should pay more

[@BoomerBenefits]

More than the 80%? Are you covered by a Medigap or a Medicare Advantage plan?

[@MMAGUY13]

@@BoomerBenefits i drove transit and a truck crash in to me i’m on ssd got Medicare just kept part A my wife has health insurance nyship but I was so scared I have to pay 20 percent. If she did not have health insurance for me that I would’ve had thousands of dollars as I got older put on my house, which is the only thing I have to leave my children. But she’s gonna have to do another 10 years so when she retires that I could be covered too. And anything could happen maybe she doesn’t do 10 years maybe we break up maybe she gets hurt like I did. I’m scared to death and I can’t believe our government doesn’t give us health insurance that covers your expenses.

[@BoomerBenefits]

Have you looked into Medicaid or other state assistance programs?

[@MMAGUY13]

@@BoomerBenefits would I be eligible? I have income isn’t Medicaid for people who don’t have income.

[@BoomerBenefits]

It is dependent on how much your income is. Doesn't hurt to review and see if you qualify!
