Your doctor may recommend you get services more often than Medicare covers, or they may
recommend services that Medicare doesn’t cover. If this happens, you may have to pay some or all
of the costs. It’s important to ask questions so you understand why your doctor is recommending
certain services and whether Medicare will pay for them.

If you are experiencing the symptoms of a Heart Attack, e.g. chest pain,
shortness of breath, etc., call 9-1-1 immediately. Delaying your arrival at
the hospital can increase your risk of dying. Do not drive yourself or
someone else having a Heart Attack.
