Original Medicare doesn't cover everything. If you need items or services Part A (Hospital Insurance) or Part B (Medical Insurance) don’t cover, you’ll have to pay for them yourself unless:
- You have other health coverage that will help cover the costs. Learn about how other coverage works with Medicare.
- You’re in a Medicare Advantage Plan (Part C), Medicare Cost Plan, or a Program of All-inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE) plan that covers these services. These plans may cover some extra benefits that Original Medicare doesn’t cover, like certain vision, hearing, and dental services.
