So You Have Medicare…

This means you've either turned 65 or are under 65 with certain disabilities, and your health insurance is now provided through the federal Medicare program.

What benefits do Medicare members see when using Veritas?

First, a quick breakdown of Medicare:

• Part A covers:

  • Inpatient hospital stays

  • Skilled nursing facility care

  • Hospice care

• Part B covers:

  • Doctor visits

  • Outpatient care (e.g., same-day surgeries, X-rays, lab work)

  • Preventive services

  • Durable medical equipment (e.g., walkers, canes, oxygen)

  • Some home health services

Most Medicare beneficiaries have both Part A and Part B. However, some people opt out of Part B—either intentionally or because they missed their enrollment window. If you don't have Part B, you're responsible for paying out-of-pocket for services like outpatient surgeries and doctor visits.

That’s where Veritas can help.

If you don’t have Medicare Part B, Veritas can be a cost-effective option for outpatient surgery. We offer transparent, upfront pricing—with no surprise bills—often at a fraction of the cost charged by traditional hospital systems.

Are there scenarios where I shouldn't use Veritas?

Yes.
If you do have Medicare Part B, Veritas legally cannot treat you for outpatient procedures. This is because Part B covers outpatient care, and Veritas is not enrolled as a Medicare provider. Federal regulations prevent us from accepting payment—even cash—for services that are covered under Part B when a provider is not part of the Medicare system.

Bottom line:
If you’re a Medicare member without Part B, Veritas offers an affordable, transparent alternative for outpatient surgery. But if you’re covered by Part B, we won’t be able to serve you—though we’re happy to help guide you in the right direction.
