		<description><![CDATA[Under Medicare Part B an EKG is covered. Diagnostic test like an EKG are covered by Medicare once you have met the annual Part B deductible of $166. After the deductible is met Medicare will pay 80% on all approved Part B medical expenses.  You are responsible for the other 20% if you don&#039;t have a Medicare Supplement.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Yes! Medicare will cover an EKG in one of two scenarios:

1) When you&#039;re new to Medicare, Medicare will cover an EKG screening with a referral from your doctor as a result of your one-time &quot;welcome to Medicare&quot; preventive visit.
2) The other scenario is when your doctor orders it for diagnostic purposes.

An EKG is covered under Medicare Part B. Medicare will pay for about 80% of the costs after the Part B deductible is met ($147 in 2014) - you would be responsible for the other 20% and the Part B deductible. When you first enroll in Medicare Part B, you open your 6-month initial open enrollment period to buy a Medicare supplement plan (a.k.a. Medigap plan) with NO MEDICAL UNDERWRITING!. A Medigap plan can cover the deductibles and a portion or all of the other 20% of expenses covered by Part B and features a number of other big advantages as well. An experienced broker can help find the plan that&#039;s most suitable for you and your budget. Please let me know if I can be of help. Thanks very much.]]></description>
