New to Medicare

Reply

I am 65 and was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2019. Treatment is completed.

I have not made a claim to Medicare yet but I will need more mammograms and ultrasounds bi-yearly. I am considered high risk with the previous tumor, radiated breast, and dense breast tissue.

Does anyone know if covered by Medicare? My medical supplement pays based on if Medicare covers and pays the difference. Through union plan for retirees.

Thanks
