Medicare Part B and Wound Care: What's Covered?

What Medicare describes

Medicare describes coverage for medically necessary wound care services and supplies when the applicable requirements are met.^[1] The official coverage page is the authoritative starting point for what is and is not included.

Things that can affect coverage

• Whether the service is considered medically necessary for your situation.
• Your eligibility and which parts of Medicare you have.
• Whether the provider participates in Medicare and how the service is billed.
• The specific setting where care is delivered.
• Deductibles, coinsurance, and any other coverage you carry.

Because of these factors, no website can tell you that your care will be covered. Coverage decisions are made by Medicare and depend on individual circumstances.

Questions worth asking

• Is this service billed to Medicare Part B?
• Does the provider accept Medicare assignment?
• What out-of-pocket amount should I expect?
• What documentation is needed to support medical necessity?
