Evercare Medicare Insurance is Medicare coverage for the Special Needs Population (SNP) provided through United Healthcare. It is considered a Medicare Advantage plan and not original Medicare.
An otoscope, also known as an auriscope, is a type of medical instrument that a healthcare professional uses to examine the inside of a patient's ears. This is done as part of physical examinations and whenever there is a concern regarding hearing or ear health in general.
Diseases which may be diagnosed by an otoscope include otitis media and otitis externa, infection of the middle and outer parts of the ear, respectively. Otoscopes are also frequently used for examining patients' noses (avoiding the need for a separate nasal speculum) and (with the speculum removed) upper throats. The most commonly used otoscopes--those used in emergency rooms, pediatric offices, general practice, and by internists-are monocular devices.
