Everything Medicare from around the web.
I just found out from my gynecologist, that Medicare will no longer cover a
PAP test for woman every year, only once every two years. The office visit
and PAP test will cost over $300. Women we need to come together and
petition Medicare to continue this annual visit and cover it. I know so
many people that are alive because their cervical cancer was found early.
Once every two years is not enough for this exam and test. Cancer can grow
very quickly and the cost of treatment far exceeds the cost of a regular
exam and early treatment.
My gynecologist told me that if there is a strong history of it in your
family, Medicare may elect to pay for one yearly.
I am trying to find out if a woman has a family history of breast cancer,
would Medicare pay for bracha gene testing.
