Unfortunately, Medicare does not cover all of your medical needs. Should you opt for various services that are not covered you can either pay for them yourself or get additional insurance.  One of the most popular supplements is a Medicare health plan.

Here are some of the things that are not covered by Medicare –

• Dental Care and dentures
• Optometry for glasses
• Any cosmetic surgery
• acupuncture or any alternative medicine
• chiropractic care
• hearing aids or related exams
• General foot care
• Long term or custodial care

Fortunately, the federal government has a site where you can enter your service needed and find out if it is covered by Medicare.
