Which service is NOT typically provided under Medicare?

The correct answer highlights a service that Medicare does not typically cover, which is personal health coaching. Medicare is a federally funded program that primarily provides health coverage for individuals over the age of 65, as well as certain younger individuals with disabilities. The services covered under Medicare generally include hospital stays, preventive services, and skilled nursing facility care after a hospitalization.

While Medicare does offer some preventive services, such as annual wellness visits and immunizations, personal health coaching is not one of the covered benefits. Personal health coaching is often considered more of a supplemental service that focuses on lifestyle changes and personal health management, which falls outside the standard medical necessity criteria used by Medicare for coverage. Thus, those seeking health coaching may need to seek it through private insurance or out-of-pocket payments, rather than relying on Medicare benefits.
