Does aetna medicaire cover cardiac stress test?

Yes, Aetna Medicare covers cardiac stress tests. However, the specific coverage may vary depending on your plan and the type of stress test. For example, some plans may cover the cost of a stress test with a treadmill, while others may only cover the cost of a stress test with a nuclear scan. It is important to check with your specific Aetna Medicare plan to determine what is covered.

Here are some general guidelines on Aetna Medicare coverage for cardiac stress tests:

* Part A: Medicare Part A covers the cost of inpatient cardiac stress tests, such as those performed in a hospital.

* Part B: Medicare Part B covers the cost of outpatient cardiac stress tests, such as those performed in a doctor's office or outpatient clinic.

* Medicare Advantage plans: Medicare Advantage plans may cover the cost of cardiac stress tests, either in addition to or instead of Medicare Part A and Part B. It is important to check with your specific Medicare Advantage plan to determine what is covered.

If you are considering having a cardiac stress test, it is important to talk to your doctor about the cost and to check with your Aetna Medicare plan to determine what is covered.
