20. Well, no (I think). Medicare won't pay for certain things that private ins. policies will.
You've seen those commercials advertising this product or that health care thingamajig that "Medicare won't pay for." Or that "Medicare used to not pay for, but has been changed and now WILL pay for." Those mechanical chairs that roll thru stores; catheters; fresh needles. Things like that.

And only certain providers will accept Medicare patients. So there is a more limited list of providers you can go to. Or used to be.

I'm confused, too.
