* Received the following information/message
from the Medicare Team via email on March 5.
You've likely heard about the Coronavirus (officially called "2019-Novel Coronavirus" or "COVID-19") in the news. While there isn't a vaccine yet and the immediate health risk remains low, Medicare is still here to help.
Your Medicare Part B (Medical Insurance) covers a test to see if you have Coronavirus. This test is covered when your doctor or a health care provider orders it, if you get the test on or after February 4, 2020. You usually pay nothing for Medicare-covered clinical diagnostic laboratory tests.
Note: Your provider will need to wait until after
April 1, 2020 to submit a claim to Medicare for this test.
Thursday night, March 5, 2020 MD Governor Hogan and
Maryland health officials have confirmed the state’s first
three cases of the coronavirus, all in Montgomery County
