Medicare is a health care coverage program offered by the federal government for citizens who are 65+ years old, those who are receiving Social Security Disability Insurance, or those under the age of 65 with End-Stage Renal Disease.

While most people are aware that Medicare Part B covers medical equipment, the cost of medical alarms and medical alert devices are not covered. However, the Medicare Advantage plan and other supplemental plans may cover a part or the entire cost of a medical alarm.
