Question of the Week | Can JR repeat Group Classes?

JR is 73 years old and has Medicare Part A and B insurance.  JR completed a Diabetes Self-Management Program at a local hospital when they were in their late 60s and tells you they want to repeat the group sessions since they have forgotten much of the information.

What is the most accurate response?

  1. Sounds great. Let’s get you enrolled in our group classes.
  2. Medicare only covers group sessions once in a lifetime.
  3. Good thinking. Medicare covers annual group training.
  4. Since your insurance won’t cover it again, you can attend for free.
