Medicare covers medically necessary treatments for Parkinson’s disease, including medications, different types of therapy, and hospital stays. Based on the type of coverage you have, you may have some out-of-pocket expenses, such as copays, coinsurance, and premiums.
Medicare may not cover all of the services you’ll need, such as assistance for normal daily living. If you or a loved one has Parkinson’s disease, it’s important for you to understand which parts of Medicare cover which treatments to avoid large, unexpected expenses.
