What is Medicare Part B?
Medicare Part B covers most doctor services, including those you receive while hospitalized, as well as outpatient therapy and the rental or purchase of durable medical equipment, which is equipment your doctor prescribes because it is medically necessary, like blood sugar monitor test strips, walkers or wheelchairs. After your deductible is met, it’s typical to pay 20% of the Medicare-approved amount for these services.
How do I avoid paying out of pocket expenses like the deductible? You can buy private Medicare Supplement insurance to cover Medicare’s out-of-pocket expenses, including the hospital deductible (depending on the plan you choose.).
