Does Medicare pay for an implant

I will be 65 next year and will be going on Medicare....I had cancer and my prostate removed a few years back and wondering if Medicare will pay for an implant...any information about this would be appreciated.

Having mine done on Jan 19th. Medicare + my military retirement insurance is paying for the entire surgery. You can go to Google, put in penile implant and you should see that they pay for it. Lost my prostate close to 20 years ago.
age 80. Prostate removed (cancer) 20 years ago. ED resulted. 19+ years did nothing. Tried pills, vacuum pump (HATED IT), injections worked sometimes, but not dependable. Presently have a inflatable, worked the 1st year. Not working for me now.

I had a colorplast titan installed 13 months ago. Medicare is my primary insurer and lineco my secondary. My total out of pocket expense was just under $500
Medicare does pay for it.
Unless the policy has been changed.
Implanted with colorplast Titan 3 years ago. Davinci radical prostatectomy 6 months ago. Very happy with the outcome of both procedures.
