Column: Medicare can help you stay healthy
Submitted by paula on Mon, 03/18/2019 - 3:02pm
You may have heard something lately about “preventive health care.” What does that mean?
At its most basic, preventive health care means living a healthy lifestyle. Eat a balanced diet. Exercise regularly. Maintain a healthy weight. And stop smoking.
Like anyone else, people with Medicare can benefit from healthy living habits. But Medicare covers a wide variety of shots to help you stay healthy. It also covers numerous tests to help detect diseases early, when they’re in their most treatable stages.
