Medicare will cover surgery to remove the cataract and replace your eye's lens with a man-made intraocular lens.

Yes, Medicare will pay for lap-band surgery for individuals who have a BMI (body mass index) greater than 35.

Medicare does not cover routine dental work in New York.
Medicare does cover carpal tunnel surgery. One should know that they will have to meet their deductible before the surgery is covered 100%.
Medicare does not like to cover the costs for these type of procedures.

Medicare will often tell you that there are cheaper ways to take care of apnea. Keep on them, they will eventually cave.
It is to be aproved in June, 2012. I'm waiting...

Medicare and Medicaid will cover the surgery if you are "morbidly obese"; this always requires prior approval.
