		<description><![CDATA[Outpatient surgery would be covered under Medicare Part B. Part A covers inpatient hospital stays and procedures.

Please note, Part A &#038; Part B only cover 80% of the costs after the deductibles (Part A - $1,216 in 2014; Part B - $147 in 2014). You can purchase a Medigap plan to cover the deductibles and the other 20% of your medical care.

Please feel free to contact me with any other questions. Thanks very much.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Medicare Part A is designed for inpatient hospital treatment only. Even though some outpatient surgery may be performed in a hospital setting, or hospital affiliated clinic, outpatient surgery is a covered item under Medicare Part B.

Medicare part B has an annual deductible. In 2013 the Part B deductible is $147. After you have satisfied your deductible Medicare pays 80% of the approved amount and you are responsible for the remaining 20%. If you use a provider that does not accept assignment, excess charges may apply. 

Some (but not all) Medicare supplement plans cover excess charges.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Outpatient Surgery is covered under Medicare Part B.  Part A covers Hospital stays.  Part B covers outpatient costs such as outpatient surgery, doctor visits, outpatient lab and xrays.  Under Part B you are responsible for 20% of the Medicare approved amount.  Some states allow a doctor to charge up to 15% more than the Medicare approved amount that would also be your responsibility.]]></description>
