| | Most Medicare beneficiaries have either known vascular disease or high risk due to the presence of multiple cardiovascular risk factors and are therefore eligible of optimal heart disease and stroke prevention.
 Medicare beneficiaries should have a discussion with their primary care providers regarding their cardiovascular risk and ask if their treatment is at recommended goals. Many will require combination therapies to get them to treatment goals. The foundation of heart attack and stroke prevention for those at high risk is cholesterol management. Insurance covers for up to 6 visits a year for cholesterol management depending upon severity and complexity of the case.
