A comprehensive illustrated infographic summarizing Medicare coverage for senior physical therapy in Minnesota, with a friendly blue and green color palette. The top headline asks, 'DOES MEDICARE PART B COVER OUTPATIENT PHYSICAL THERAPY FOR SENIORS?' with a large 'YES' checkmark and clarification: 'FOR MEDICALLY NECESSARY TREATMENT'. The infographic is structured into several clear sections. A left panel lists 'WHAT'S COVERED? (WHEN MEDICALLY NECESSARY)', including Orthopedic Recovery, Post-Stroke Recovery, Chronic Pain Management, and Balance & Fall Prevention, each with specific icons. The middle features three columns defining 'TYPES OF THERAPY': Physical Therapy (e.g., strength exercises), Occupational Therapy (e.g., daily activities/adaptive equipment), and Speech-Language Therapy (e.g., communication, swallowing), illustrated with smiling seniors and therapists. A right panel, titled 'HOW MEDICARE PART B PAYS FOR OUTPATIENT THERAPY', uses circular visualizations to show Medicare pays 80% and the user pays 20% (Coinsurance), listing options for the 20% like Medigap, Medicare Advantage, and MN Medical Assistance. The bottom banner features the fictional logo for 'ASCEND REHABILITATION' with a call to action and the tagline: 'Supporting Mobility, Strength, and Independence for Minnesota Seniors'.
