I have this Advance Beneficiary Notice regarding Medicare coverage, and @Greg Louie and I were trying to understand how we can provide our services cash-pay heath and wellness programs if people with Medicare are required to use it first? I asked ChatGPT and this is the response I got, but I want to understand better how others are actually applying this with their older adult demographic that qualify under Medicare. I have a lead who is getting surgery and is wanting to work with me, but I don't accept Medicare, so does she have to go through a standard PT clinic first and then work with me or how can I resolve this? Question: Do I have to use medicare in physical therapy before starting into a health and wellness program? ChatGPT: Not necessarily. If you want to start a health and wellness program without needing physical therapy, you don't have to use Medicare. You can choose to participate in those programs on your own and pay for them yourself. However, if you have a specific health condition or an injury that requires physical therapy, it's important to talk to your doctor. They will determine if physical therapy is necessary for your situation. If your doctor recommends physical therapy, Medicare may help cover the cost if you qualify for Medicare benefits. In summary, you don't have to use Medicare for health and wellness programs that are not related to a specific health condition. But if physical therapy is recommended by your doctor for a specific injury or condition, Medicare may help cover the cost of that therapy.
