This eMedicare initiative includes a newly
created Whats Covered app, which is an
advanced but simplified tool. It allows the
people with the original medicare to check if
their medicare covers a certain service or
medical item using their mobile phones anytime
and anywhere. This app offers updated and
reliable information to the beneficiaries even if
their phone is offline. Day by day as the
population of the people with medicare is
increasing, this app meets their needs. It has
been estimated that the population of Medicare
beneficiaries may rise from 57 million
beneficiaries in 2016 to near or more than 80
million beneficiaries in 2030. With the change in
time as the beneficiaries will try to engage
themselves more in the world of advanced
technology and innovations in the mobile devices,
they will be able to get benefited from the
leveled up options in eMedicare. As per the Pew
research center, there has been a 55 increase in
internet usage in senior citizens, wherein about
4 in 10 of them which is around 43 do own the
smartphones. As yet more than 23,000,00 people
have downloaded this new app in less than a month
of its launching. This is a remarkable step of
the beneficiaries towards the advancement in the
practice of usage which is served by eMedicare
