Does Medicare Part B Cover Blood Tests For RA Patients Taking Methotrexate 100% After The Deductible?

I am on Medicare , plan G !!! With Aetna as my secondary.
I’ve never had to pay for my blood work!! I was told the “Advantage “ plans are. Basically for people who are pretty healthy.
I sadly am not. I went thru cancer, have neuropathy , fibromyalgia, arthritis , and a list! But I have been very happy as most bills have been covered .
