Does Medicare Cover “Expensive” Injections in Doctor’s Office?
Toni:
I have been laid off this week with my current employer’s benefits ending August 31. I turn 65 in August and will be enrolling in Medicare. My employer group health plan currently has an HSA with a high deductible of $3,000 which I meet early in the year due to my health issues. The biggest medical expense is shots that I receive from 2 doctors.
One is a shot for macular degeneration which is over $2,000 per shot. It does not take me too many treatments to make the $3000 deductible.
The other is for allergy shots taken monthly from my allergist that are not too expensive.
My concern is how does Medicare pay for these 2 medical procedures?…
