No, Medicare does not cover meal delivery services. Those on a fixed income may qualify for Meals on Wheels, which provides meals on a sliding fee scale. Some seniors qualify for free meals and others pay full price, depending on financial need. No seniors will be denied meals based on their inability to pay.
Seniors qualify for Meals on Wheels based on their income. Call your local meals on wheels program to see if you meet their income requirements. If you don’t qualify, you can often pay for this service out of pocket.
