CMS recognizes the crucial role health care professionals play in promoting, providing, and educating Medicare patients about potentially life-saving preventive services and screenings. Medicare pays for a full range of preventive services and screenings. 

CMS developed an interactive Medicare Preventive Services Medicare Learning Network (MLN) educational tool to assist the health care community as part of a comprehensive provider education program on preventive services and screenings covered by Medicare. This educational tool includes HCPCS and CPT codes, diagnosis codes, coverage requirements, frequency requirements and beneficiary liability for each Medicare preventive service.
