Re: Does Medicare Cover Surgery?

[Guest guest]

When I spoke to the gal at Dr. Maguire's office she

told me that Medicare operates differently insofar as

they don't require pre-authorization. But you must

qualify..... post surgery, with having one of 3

primary comorbidities one of which was diabetes,

another was high blood pressure and the third,

something to do with the heart. Sorry I didn't get

the specifics.

Your supplemental should pick up on that which is

covered by medicare. You should probably check that

out with the suppl. coverage folks.

Lovingly,

Caroline
