Yes they do. I had surgery for ovarian cysts and they covered everything. From the surgery, prescriptions and after-care.
It is to be aproved in June, 2012. I'm waiting...
Medicare does not like to cover the costs for these type of procedures. They will repeatedly tell you no, but if you have a doctor tell them that the surgery is the only option that will work for you, then they will cover it. Medicare will often tell you that there are cheaper ways to take care of apnea. Keep on them, they will eventually cave.
Medicare and Medicaid will cover the surgery if you are "morbidly obese"; this always requires prior approval.
Any medical procedure connected to a Medicare plan will need to be proven medically necessary by the doctor. You doctor will know whether or not you can use your Medicare Supplement to pay for the surgery.
