Original Medicare does not cover transportation for routine doctor’s office visits. The only transportation covered by Original Medicare is ground ambulance transportation when you need to be transported to a hospital, critical access hospital, or skilled nursing facility for medically necessary services. Transportation in an airplane or helicopter to a hospital if you need immediate and rapid ambulance transportation not available by ground transportation is also provided. There are, however, some Medicare Advantage plans that offer transportation services to doctors' offices. Some provide unlimited trips, and others have a set number of trips defined by the plan. Please check your Medicare Advantage Summary of Benefits to see if your plan offers this supplemental benefit.

If you have original Medicare, Part B will cover telehealth services, and you will have to pay a 20% coinsurance of the Medicare-approved amount for your doctor or other health care provider's services after you pay the Part B deductible. You will have to pay the same amount for most telehealth services as if you received the service in person. Due to the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, Medicare has allowed doctors and other health care providers to use telehealth services to treat COVID-19 (and for other medically reasonable purposes) from offices, hospitals, and places of residence (like homes, nursing homes, and assisted living facilities). Medicare coinsurance and deductibles still apply; however, healthcare providers are reducing or waiving those amounts in some cases. If you are enrolled in a Medicare Advantage plan, they must, at a minimum, provide the same benefits provided under Medicare Part A and Part B, so the same telehealth services are available.

Medicare Part B covers manual manipulation of the spine if medically necessary to correct a subluxation when provided by a chiropractor or other qualified provider. Medicare doesn't cover other services or tests ordered by a chiropractor, including X-rays, massage therapy, and acupuncture. If you only have Original Medicare, you will have to pay 20% of the Medicare-approved amount; the Part B deductible also applies. If you are enrolled in a Medicare Supplement or Medicare Advantage, your deductible, copay, or coinsurance may be different or less depending on the plan you have chosen. Medicare Advantage plans may also offer additional chiropractic services. Please check your Medicare Advantage Summary of Benefits to see if your plan provides this supplemental benefit.
