Since the national emergency was declared on March 13, 2020, Medicare took action nationwide to aggressively respond to COVID-19. See all coverage changes and increased flexibilities to support beneficiaries since then in the fight against COVID-19.
If you have a Medicare Advantage Plan, you have access to these same benefits. Medicare allows these plans to waive cost-sharing for COVID-19 lab tests. Many plans offer additional telehealth benefits and expanded benefits, like meal delivery or medical transport services. Check with your plan about your coverage and costs. Your State Health Insurance Assistance Program, called SHIP, can help you understand your coverage changes and navigate expanded options. In Indiana, call SHIP at (800) 452-4800, (866) 846-0139 TDD.
