   Medicare does not cover medical alert systems, neither will most insurance carriers, even with a doctor’s written prescription. However, you should check with your insurance provider to see if they will cover your medical alert system. Some states have programs that will help Medicare beneficiaries, who meet certain criteria, pay for the alert systems. These programs are usually accessed through the local County Aging Services.
