I think that Medicare doesn't cover it and she had to meet her deductible on her supplemental insurance first.  They probably haven't met their deductible for this year.  They are incredibly healthy and on no meds.

She proabably met her deductible after both procedures.  I know my vaginal ultrasounds are a lot of money.  But they are covered after deductible.

@VaBelle35, I don't know what specific type of procedure or test your mother needs, but if she has Part B, they do cover a Pap every 24 months if not high risk.  If high risk or need for screening due to past problems they will pay for a Pap every year.

However, the gyn doc must accept Medicare assignment.  You might want to make sure that isn't the issue.

@pitdakota She had to have a pelvic ultrasound and then a D&C.

@VaBelle35, did she have the surgery as an outpatient and go home the same day or was she admitted to the hospital overnight?
