Here are the precautions you need to take:

• Avoid high touch surfaces.
• Avoid poorly ventilated areas and crowds.
• Don’t touch your face .

• Stock up on groceries and over the counter
medical supplies and groceries.

Here’s the good news:

Most people will be able to recover at home. Here’s
the Medicare information you need.

• There are no out of pocket costs for Medicare
COVID-19 Lab tests.
• Medicare covers all “Medically necessary
hospitalizations,” including a COVID-19
diagnosis, and post treatment hospital
quarantine.

IT WILL BE COVERED UNDER PART D.
