Original Medicare covers most health care services. The qualifying resolution is this. Is the service rendered considered "medically necessary"?
Medical services would include but are not limited to hospital inpatient services, emergency room, ambulance (medically necessary), doctor visits, surgery (in or out of the hospital), infusion therapy, imaging, lab and much more.
You can go to Medicare.gov and literally look up procedures, treatments etc. in an alphabetical list. This more fully explains coverage and processes. Most doctors and their offices are aware of what is covered, what coding to use, etc....
Before you have any treatment or lab work or procedure - always verify it is covered by Medicare or you could be left holding the bag.
Hope this helps!
