Lab Tests and Screenings Your Doctor Orders

Let’s be honest — nobody looks forward to lab work. But it’s one of the most important parts of staying healthy. The good news? Many of these routine tests are already covered by Medicare.

Think about the last time your doctor ordered blood work. It might have been to:

  • Check your cholesterol or blood sugar
  • Monitor your kidney or thyroid function
  • Look for vitamin deficiencies
  • Screen for conditions like osteoporosis or anaemia

In many cases, these are covered under Medicare Part B when your doctor says they’re medically necessary. That means you don’t have to worry about surprise bills every time you need a test.

💡 Did you know? Medicare covers a wide range of diagnostic tests that keep you and your doctor informed. The trick is to always ask before you schedule: “Is this test covered under Medicare?”

👉 That one question could save you money — and give you peace of mind.
