Yes, CoaguChek, a device used for monitoring blood coagulation levels, is generally covered by Medicare under Part B as durable medical equipment (DME) for patients who require regular INR testing due to conditions like atrial fibrillation or mechanical heart valves. Coverage typically requires a doctor's prescription and documentation of medical necessity. It's important for beneficiaries to check with their specific Medicare plan and supplier to confirm coverage details and any potential out-of-pocket costs.
