Just got off the phone with Medicare after calling them to "verify" a Virtual Appointment with my gyn on 9/1 will be PAID.
Of course as expected, hospital had NO idea.
โก๏ธ[*** Happy to say they REinstated "paying" until DECEMBER 2026. Grateful = saves me gas!!! ๐
โก๏ธ[*** I need to CALL them AGAIN once I hopefully get the Procedure Code for my Hospital Biopsy (9/15 or 9/24).
The "biopsy" they tried to do in her office LAST year 2025 of course was COVERED last year. ๐ But at age 67, my cervix decided to "close". Weird indeed. ๐ค
โก๏ธ[*** Asked their hours to SPEAK TO A HUMAN. The lady said 24/7. Lol, I had to CONFIRM as I am so used to the "annoying" AI. Yes, it is true!!! The trick is to get PASS THE AI 1st. I keep replying to it = Customer Service Representative. Transfered me about after 3 questions. ๐
THE HOLD TIME IS STILL FOREVER. Mine was 10 minutes, but I put call on SPEAKERPHONE while I did chores. Still HATE calling them but DONOT want any bills arriving in my mailbox.
Nicole!
You can just look up the coverage on the Medicare .gov site -
Medicare.gov - Telehealth Insurance Coverage

Yes you are CORRECT Gail @GailL1 , but as the very "nice & helpful" Medicare lady said on phone today - it depends!
Lol, I am SO BROKE these days & DONOT need anymore bills.
I rather get the PROCEDURE CODE for her to "verify" they will cover it.
Next will be Cataract Surgery in a few years my yearly Eye Doctor told me.
Getting old Gail./lol ๐
