Medicare will send you emails indicating what procedures you qualify for. They sent me one at 66 saying I qualified for 6 tests . They have an interest in keeping me healthy. It is refreshing being aware of what I can get instead of fighting my insurance company to get covered. They hoping if they make every thing complicated I will give up and not cost them money. What a stupid system we have.
