4. If you suffer from chronic pain, you will have more coverage added
There are many conditions that cause chronic pain, and this means there are also many people who require treatment for this type of pain. From rheumatoid arthritis to fibromyalgia, everyone needs medication, and some of the Medicare changes that will take place in 2024 are targeting exactly those who need to treat these painful conditions.
Beginning in 2024, those with chronic pain (pain that lasts for at least three months) will be able to get insurance for pain control and treatment.
Medicare will start to cover the following services on a monthly basis: pain evaluation, medication administration, planning of care, and coordination. Beneficiaries must pay their Part B deductible as well as the copay for these treatments.
