Medicare Preventive Services Coverage
“Prevention is better than cure.”
The best way to prevent illness and stay healthy is to follow (and maintain) a healthy lifestyle. Unfortunately, very few adults meet the criteria for a healthy lifestyle in the US.
According to a recent study published in the Archives of Internal Medicine, only 3% of American adults scored perfectly on what the researchers say are the “four basic criteria of healthy living.”
See how well you do, using the researchers’ four basic criteria:
- Do you smoke?
- Are you able to maintain a healthy weight (a BMI of 18-25), or are you successfully losing weight to attain a healthy weight?
- Do you eat at least 5 servings of fruits and vegetables daily?
- Do you exercise 30 minutes or more, 5 times a week?
Medicare Insurance covers various preventive care services to help premium holders achieve better overall health and fitness. Preventive care services can help in spotting health problems earlier when treatment works best. It also helps avoid complicating a patient’s condition further.

Medicare Part B
Non-hospital medical costs such as doctor's appointments, blood tests, x-rays, diabetes testing and supplies, and outpatient hospital treatment are covered by Part B benefits. For this component of the original health insurance, you pay a monthly fee.
Medicare Part C
In a health insurance plan, Medicare Advantage or Medicare Part C normally covers all forms of health insurance coverage. Private insurance businesses that have been contracted by the CMS to provide a medicare plan as an alternative to the original health insurance plan provide it.
Medicare Part D
Medicare Part D is a prescription medication coverage option. Part D health insurance is available as a stand-alone plan from private insurance firms, with monthly rates varying from one to the next. Depending on the plan you're registered in, you'll split the cost of your prescription medicines.
