Can Medicare Pay for an Implant?
I'm in my 40s and was informed that I'm eligible for Medicare (strange but true). Presently I got Medicaid bundled with Fidelis and live in NYC. Can Medicare pay for an implant? If so which Medicare plan does pay for it, A or B?
ED since 1996. Peyronies in 2012. PRP in 2013 and 2017. Dr. Brock, urology, NC, USA. Cialis and Viagra stopped working since 10/2017. Haven't been on Trimix since 3/2016. Will consider injecting it again. Will be prescribed testosterone injections soon.

The procedure is covered by Medicare.
54 years old, happily married for 30 years to a beautiful & outstanding lady. Onset ED at 49. Finally fixed on 11/08/2017 by the master Dr. Eid with a Titan XL 26, no RTEs! Previously had 3 AMS implants (LGX & CX), all botched.

You just have to locate a doctor that accepts it.

down here we have self pay, private insurance 2 government programs. Most people that have Medicare also have private supplemental insurance
Dr accepting Medicare ( federal) is not hard. Medicaid( state) on the other hand is hard.

Here my case. The Dr billed 70k. private pay who knows what bill would have been. Private insurance would have been some amount less depending on agreement. Medicare said you can only charge 13k they payed 80% of that Me or secondary insurance (if they cover) which in my case found out afterthe fact they did not the balance of 2900 is what due to dr. Medicaid would gave paid even less
