Not true. If you are put on cholesterol meds Medicare will pay for additional blood tests for maintenance. The doctor needs to know if the medication is working. Screening is for healthy people once every five years.

I've been fighting for years. Insurance companies are now using AI to determine coverage via algorithms. Some people will get covered, some won't. I've had procedures denied by a group where the medical "expert " was a retired dentist. I won on appeal, but It is getting worse.
