How Much Does Medicare Part B Cover?
- 120 POINTSview profileTom PichtMedicare Part B typically covers 80% of your medical necessary services performed by medical providers that are assigned to Medicare. Doctors assigned to Medicare agree to only charge what Medicare allows for a particular procedure. If you medical procedures are done by providers that aren't assigned to Medicare, then you could be responsible for up to an additional 15% above what Medicare covers for a particular procedure. If you have Supplemental (Medigap) insurance, the Plans F & G are the only two plans that cover that 15%.Answered on May 24, 2013flag this answer
