BACK TO MEDICARE COVERAGE LIST

Clinical Trials (Inpatient)
 

You pay the part of the charge that you would normally pay for a Medicare covered service or supply.

Medicare covers routine costs, like doctor visits and tests if you take part in an qualifying clinical trial. Medicare does not pay for the experimental item being investigated in most cases. Clinical trials test new types of medical care, like how well a new cancer drug works. Clinical trials help doctors and researchers see if the new care works and if it is safe.

Medicare is the name given to a health insurance program administered by the United States government, covering people who are either age 65 and over, or who meet other special criteria.
