Medicare

If you turned 65 this year, or if you qualify for Medicare through a disability, your red, white, and blue card works at Moses Medical. We accept Original Medicare Part A, Part B, and Medigap supplement plans at 871B Westchester Ave in the Bronx.

One thing to know right away: Original Medicare does not require referrals. You can book directly with any of our specialists without seeing your primary care doctor first.

Medicare-Covered Services

Medicare Part B covers outpatient visits at our office. That starts with primary care and internal medicine for physicals, sick visits, flu and pneumonia vaccines, and chronic disease management.

Our specialists are in the same building. Cardiology handles cardiovascular screenings, EKGs, and ongoing cardiac monitoring. Dermatology covers skin cancer screenings and age-related skin conditions. Behavioral health includes depression screening, counseling, and psychiatric services. Part B places no limit on the number of behavioral health visits per year.

Pain management treats arthritis, spinal stenosis, and neuropathy. Podiatry covers diabetic foot care and medically necessary foot treatment. Ophthalmology handles glaucoma screening, cataract evaluation, and diabetic eye exams. ENT addresses hearing concerns, sinus conditions, and balance disorders.

Women’s health covers mammograms, Pap tests, and bone density screenings. Our wound care team treats non-healing wounds from surgery or diabetes. Lab work and radiology imaging are done on-site. Physical therapy is covered when medically necessary.

What to Bring to Your First Visit

Your Medicare card with your Medicare Beneficiary Identifier (MBI). If you have a Medigap supplement plan, bring that card too. Medigap covers some or all of the 20% that Original Medicare does not pay after your Part B deductible.

That is the short version. Here is the math: after you meet your annual Part B deductible, Medicare pays 80% of approved charges. Without Medigap or a secondary plan, you owe the other 20%. With Medigap, your out-of-pocket costs drop. Some Medigap plans cover the entire difference.

Bring a list of your current medications and the name of any doctor you have seen in the past year. This helps your provider avoid duplicate tests and coordinate your care.

Free Medicare Benefits You Should Be Using

The Annual Wellness Visit. This is separate from a regular physical. Medicare covers one free Annual Wellness Visit per year, which creates a personalized prevention plan and screening schedule. It reviews your medications, checks your risk factors, and maps out what tests you need over the next 12 months. Many Medicare members do not know this visit exists.

Chronic Care Management. If you have two or more chronic conditions like diabetes, heart disease, or COPD, you may qualify for Chronic Care Management. That means monthly care coordination, medication reviews, and direct communication with your care team between office visits. Ask your provider if you are eligible.

Depression screening. Medicare Part B covers annual depression screenings at $0 when done during a qualifying visit. Depression is common after 65 and often goes undiagnosed. Our behavioral health team can start treatment the same day if needed.

Cardiovascular and cancer screenings. Heart disease and cancer screenings are covered at $0 when ordered by your provider. That includes blood pressure, cholesterol, diabetes, colonoscopy, mammogram, and prostate cancer screening depending on your age and risk factors.
