Medicare covers penis pumps? (not a sex thread)

[pokerfan]

Saw an ad on tv last night... Really? :shrug:

So my savings is in the toilet and the government is giving the money to bail out Wall Street but, if I can hold out for just sixteen more years, they will give me a penis pump!!! :bounce:

If you have Medicare & a Supplemental Insurance, your purchase could be 100% PAID! No out of pocket cost!*

Vacuum Therapy Is Covered by Medicare

If Medicare is your primary insurance, you have qualified supplemental coverage and your deductibles have been met for the year, you may be eligible for a Vacuum Therapy System with no out of pocket cost.

* Deductibles and co-payments may apply.

As an authorized participating provider, Pos-T-Vac gladly accepts Medicare assignment and will file your Medicare and supplemental claims for you with no out of pocket expense.

Please be sure to indicate on your inquiry that you are covered by Medicare as your primary insurer, and we will include the appropriate questionaire we need to file your Medicare. We do not file HMO claims.

Customer Service Representatives at Pos-T-Vac Medical will help you file Medicare and Secondary Insurance. Call toll free 800-279-7434 or email [e-mail].

We will navigate all of the paper work needed to get Medicare reimbursement. If we pre-qualify and your claim is denied you keep your system anyway. There is no up front cost. VACUUM THERAPY WORKS! YOU CAN RESUME YOUR INTIMACY NOW.

Clinical studies show that men who don't respond well to Viagra, saw a significant improvement of erections when used with a vacuum therapy system.

A British Journal of Urology study shows that daily use of vacuum therapy led to an improvement in spontaneous erections in 60% of the men in the study.

1. It's a quality of life issue for some older men

and their partners. I don't have a problem with it. A lot of older diabetics need a little assistance.

2. There's an inflation joke in there somewhere

3. I have no problem with this--

how expensive are the pumps and how many men need them?

I bet not enough to bankrupt Medicare...

5. Nor do I

I'm glad that the government cares about the little things.

4. The kind of pump you get from a urologist.. NOT the kind you get from an ad in

back of certain magazines.
