Navigating the healthcare system can be daunting, especially when it comes to managing the costs of necessary care. Medicare steps in as a crucial support system, providing coverage that makes it easier to pay for things like senior primary care services, pharmacy needs and home health visits.(1)

Partnering with Medicare, CenterWell offers tailored healthcare that aligns perfectly with Medicare’s benefits, making sure you receive comprehensive care without the hefty price tag.

Can you use Medicare to pay for services like seeing a doctor?

Yes, at CenterWell Senior Primary Care®, Medicare helps by covering some of the cost of your doctor visits and checkups. You can see your doctors for regular checkups and other important treatments, like vaccinations, colonoscopies, diabetes and heart disease screenings, mammograms and prostate cancer screenings.

Being able to see your doctor regularly allows you to take care of your health easily and keeps you feeling good without spending a lot of money.

Can Medicare help cover your medication costs?

Yes, with a Medicare Advantage plan with Part D coverage, CenterWell Pharmacy® helps members figure out how to save money on their meds.(2) With Medicare Part D, you can get your prescriptions at a lower cost.

CenterWell Pharmacy works with your health insurer to make sure you can easily get medications, helping you stay healthy without breaking the bank.

What about getting care at home, can Medicare help you pay for that too?

Yes, Medicare really comes in handy when you need to be seen and taken care of at home through CenterWell Home Health® services.(3) If a doctor says it's needed, Medicare can help pay for some of the cost for a nurse to visit you at home, so you can get better without going to the hospital or doctor's office all the time.

CenterWell Home Health uses this benefit to make sure you are comfortable and cared for in your own home, making it easier and less stressful for you to get better.
