Medicare Coverage Question
Hi, I just got diagnosed as having "mild Parkinson's". For the past 3+ years, I had been diagnosed as having ET. I've always been physically active -- skiing, tennis, running, biking, hiking, etc.. At the advice of my (first) neurologist last fall, I added an hour of personal training twice a week. Although that is on hold now because my gym is closed for the corona virus, I intend to resume it when the gym re-opens. Does anyone know whether personal training is covered by Medicare or Medicare supplemental, if I got a prescription from my doctor? Thanks!
Hi, jlosey - Thanks for posting! Gym closures have certainly put a damper on folks' workout routines. Hopefully they're back open sooner than later. To determine what's covered under your Medicare plan, it would be best to check in with your doctor. You could also search here for more information: https://www.medicare.gov/coverage. Hope this helps. Let us know what you find out! - Chris, ParkinsonsDisease.net Team
Thanks!
