Stroke and Medicare Coverage

Each year, about 800,000 Americans suffer a stroke. Medicare coverage plays a big role in managing recovery costs and ongoing care.

Common side effects include:

• Balance problems

• Hearing or vision issues

• Limited mobility

If you’re at risk, you need to know what Medicare covers after a stroke and ensure adequate Medicare coverage is in place to support you.

Rehab Coverage

Medicare helps pay for rehab in hospitals, skilled nursing facilities, or rehab centers, through its various Medicare coverage options.

• Part A covers inpatient rehab while your doctor considers it medically necessary.

• Part B covers outpatient therapy like physical therapy.

How long Medicare pays depends on your doctor’s recommendations and the extent of Medicare coverage you receive.

Medical Equipment Coverage

Medicare Part B also helps pay for durable medical equipment such as wheelchairs and other essential items through its comprehensive coverage plans.

• Wheelchairs

• Walkers

• Lifts

• Canes

If you’re at high risk of stroke, review your plan. Make sure you know what’s covered and what costs you may face under Medicare. Talk with your Medicare insurance agent to confirm your benefits.
