Medicare coverage

Medicare covers a DRE and a prostate-specific antigen (PSA) blood test once a year for all men with Medicare age 50 and over. There is no co-insurance and no Part B deductible for the PSA test. For other services, the beneficiary would pay 20% of the Medicare-approved amount after the yearly Part B deductible.
