June is Men's Health Month
June is the month that we celebrate dads. What better time is there for men to get their health screenings scheduled?
Even healthy men need to get health screenings for preventive care.
If you are a man with Medicare coverage, now is the time to talk with your doctor about getting screened for prostate cancer, colorectal cancer and cardiovascular disease.
Medicare covers prostate screenings once every 12 months for men over 50 and the colorectal screening tests every 120 months, unless at high risk.
Cardiovascular screenings can detect conditions that could lead to heart attack or stroke and are covered by Medicare once every five years.
