Does Medicare cover Baclofen injections

Answer 1

Medicare itself has very limited drug coverage. If you have Part D Prescription Drug coverage from an insurance company, check the company's "Formulary" to see if the Baclofen is a covered drug. This is what the Medicare and You 2009 book says about Prescription Drugs: Includes a limited number of prescription drugs such as those you get in a hospital outpatient department under certain circumstances, injected drugs you get in a doctor's office,certain oral cancer drugs, and drugs used with some types of durable medical equipment (like a nebulizer or infusion pump). You pay 20% of the Medicare-approved amount, and the Part B deductible applies. Note: Other than the examples above, under Part B, you pay 100% for most prescription drugs, unless you have Part D or other drug coverage.
