MEDICARE’S PREVENTIVE SERVICES

 An easy way and important way to stay healthy is to get disease prevention and early detection services.  Disease prevention and early detection services can keep you from getting certain disease or illnesses, or can find health problems early which is when treatment works best.  Talk with your doctor or health care provider to find out what tests you need and how often you need them to stay healthy.

Heart disease, cancer, stroke and diabetes cause the most deaths of people with Medicare, but each disease can be prevented or treated more effectively when found earlier.  Did you know these services were covered by Medicare?
