In a cabin, on a mountain, in "Wilderness" Alaska.
Is there a chart or charts (that I assume gets regularly updated) that shows how much they will pay for those things that they cover.

Actually, looking for what is the max they will allow being charged for those medical things they cover. I understand the 80% covered and 20% not covered. I'll be very-very happy with any useful information on this subject.

Thank you, I appreciate the help.
 
My wife has medical issues, we are on medicare.
We have a couple of insurance supplements that either take the place of the medicare for her or for me it gives me more coverage working with the medicare.
Last year we fell into the "donut hole" which is where they cover you for a expensive med and then after you are on it you use up your coverage and have to pay more..

This next year there have been changes in Medicare and the extra coverages so there isn't the donut hole....
The only way I have a chance of getting or understanding the medicare system is thru a agent that specializes in this type of coverage...the agent gets a commission and doesn't charge us.

Doctors offices don't seem to know much besides "we will submit the claim and see how much is covered".

And so far there doesn't seem to be much of any coverage for dental or glasses...
 
I think you'd have better luck looking at the coverage of a $0/month Medicare Advantage plan. These no-cost plans don't have a monthly premium and they will have charts showing what the plan plus Medicare covers. These plans do not cost you a thing. Of course, you still have to pay the required Medicare monthly premium. The attached file provides an example.

Or hearing aids.
I can't get any information from anyone in the medical practices.

Ditto that.

My guy calls once a year to insure my coverage is right. Doesn't cost me anything.

Don't know about hearing, but my Medicare plan covers all of my dental expenses so far.
Below is the hearing coverage from the zero premium plan example that I attached to the post above.
