Medicare provides coverage for radiofrequency ablation (RFA) in some instances deemed medically necessary. Medicare Part B typically covers some of the approved costs for RFA procedures commonly used to alleviate chronic pain. However, it's important to note that deductibles, co-payments, or any excess charges may apply.

The specific coverage details and potential out-of-pocket costs can vary, so it is advisable to review the Medicare guidelines, consult with the healthcare provider, and contact the specific Medicare provider for accurate and personalized information based on individual circumstances.
