My PM, surgery, and all subsequent support (major) has been completely covered by Medicare and my Supplement insurance (Bankers Life). I have not paid a penny ! Now that is good for the heart!!!

Best advice I can give you...

Please the call the number on your card. Yes, they do cover pacemakers, but not a lot of extras. There are a lot of additional plans and secondary ins. Check it out before you need it.

Please call them, they will answer your questions, it might take awhile but you do have the right to information.

I finished 29th in London in 2 hours 20 minutes 30 seconds which is my fastest with or without a device so clearly it didnt slow me down ! I had no problems apart from some slight chaffing on my scar - more Vaseline next time.
