Does Medicare Cover Physical Therapy?

Physical Therapy in Medicare Part C

Also known as Medicare Advantage, Medicare Part C is offered by private insurance firms approved by Medicare. It covers everything by Part A and Part B, along with additional services, such as prescription drugs, vision care, or dental care. This means that physical therapy will be covered by Medicare Part C if it is medically necessary. However, keep in mind that what is included can vary by location, company, and plan. Some Medicare Part C plans would require you to use physical therapy services from a facility in an agreed network. Therefore, make sure to contact your insurance firm before choosing a provider to ensure your expenses are covered. [5]
