Will Medicare pay for fills when I'm 65?

I just realized that in another year, I will be on Medicare. I am retired and currently covered by Blue Cross/Blue Shield from my previous employer. They also cover my DH, but when he turned 65 last year, they became SECONDARY to Medicare so I am sure when I turn 65, the same will apply.

I am recently banded and have not even had my first fill yet, but am wondering about when I go on Medicare next year. Do they cover fills if needed? Also, what about any other complications that may arise?

Thanks for your insight......

Medicare does cover lap band surgery so they may cover fills. Don't know for sure though!
