Will Medicare pay for carcinoma of the gums?

Some treatment of the gums is covered by Medicare, even though "dental" care is not covered. If you receive surgery or other treatment on your gums from a physician, or if physicians often provide the same kind of care, then Medicare will cover it. Carcinoma is a serious disease that should be and almost always is treated by a physician, which means that Medicare will cover treatment for it regardless of where on your body it appears, in almost any circumstance.
