Dear Marci, I am concerned about the spread of coronavirus and how it might affect my health. I have Medicare--will I be able to get necessary services covered?
~Tammy (Tempe, AZ)
Dear Tammy,
Medicare is working to address the spread of COVID-19 (also called coronavirus) and inform people with Medicare about the services that Medicare covers. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has identified older adults and people with serious chronic medical conditions like heart disease, diabetes, and lung disease as being at a higher risk from the virus.
In general, Medicare covers medically necessary items and services that you receive from a provider who accepts Original Medicare or is in-network for your Medicare Advantage Plan. Medicare Advantage Plans must cover everything that Original Medicare does, but they can do so with different costs and restrictions.
Certain cost and coverage changes may occur, so be sure to visit www. medicare.gov and the Medicare Rights Center’s blog post for the most up-to-date information.

Take Salad Season to the Next Level
Warmer months typically call for lighter bites, and one of the first things that comes to mind for many is a fresh and flavorful salad. While a salad is a quick and easy way to up your veggie intake and get food on the table in next to no time, the same formula over and over again can make mealtimes feel mundane. To take your salads to the next level, think of those greens as a blank slate for creativity and look beyond the bowl for elements that can help create new, satisfying meals. Find more ideas to elevate salad season at freshexpress.com.
