Does Medicare Pay For Burial?
2275 POINTSview profileBill LougheadPresident, SummitMedigap.com, CO, FL, GA, MI, NC, SC & TXMedicare does not pay for burial. You would need a final expense policy or life insurance policy to cover those costs. You can get one of these policies at many different amounts to cover your basic needs or to also cover other expenses. Medicare also does not cover Long Term Care Insurance.Answered on December 29, 2013flag this answer
64 POINTSview profileAnthony MartinOwner, Choice Mutual, Reno, NevadaAs Bill mentioned, Medicare definitely does not include any sort of benefit that covers the cost of a funeral. Medicare and Medicaid only pertains to health. You would need a final expense policy, a pre-need plan with a funeral home, or cash to cover funeral expenses because Medicare surely will not.Answered on August 2, 2017flag this answer
