Perks of Medicare

I just got my toenails clipped by my podiatrist, he clips them every two months because I have a bad back and it hurts to clip them myself. It’s a service I discovered a couple of years ago that Medicare covers. I have no complaints about my health insurance.

No way, that’s an interesting tidbit about Medicare that I was not aware of.

I just wish they covered GLP drugs, I need help losing weight on Zyprexa. The lobbyists are working on it as we speak though.

My Medicare Advantage Plan covers 66% of the cost of Mounjaro for people who qualify. That comes to about $300-500 per month for the patient. Not great coverage.

Also manufacturers coupons are not allowed legally for anyone who has Medicare or Medicaid. It’s literally a law. So no cheap discounts

What’s nuts is it would be covered if I had diabetes… but if it were covered now, for obesity, it would prevent me from getting diabetes altogether.

It makes zero sense.

My doctor referred me to bariatric doctor. They are getting more approved than primary care.

Glp does help but not as much as switching to cobenfy (not sure if you need to be on a glp by then) see stutterbug’s progress
