Does Medicare cover dyspareunia-related care?
Medicare coverage depends on the country. In the UK, “Medicare” does not apply; NHS covers sexual pain care. In Australia and the US, Medicare may cover some consultations and medical therapies but not all physiotherapy or specialist treatments.
Detailed Medical Explanation
Medicare in Australia can help pay for GP consultations and some gynaecologist visits but usually not for all physiotherapy, counselling, or alternative therapies. In the US, Medicare may cover doctor visits and medically necessary procedures, but out-of-pocket costs are common for pelvic floor therapy and psychological care.
