2021 ALERT - Medicare Patients

Under Original Medicare, if the Part B deductible ($203 in 2021) applies, you must pay all costs (up to the Medicare-approved amount) until you meet the yearly Part B deductible.

Visit Medicare.gov to get the 2021 Part B deductible.

After you meet your deductible, Medicare begins to pay its share and you (or your secondary insurance) typically pay 20% of the Medicare-approved amount of the service (if the doctor or other health care provider accepts assignment). There’s no yearly limit on what you pay out-of-pocket. There may be limits on supplemental coverage you may have, like Medigap, Medicaid, or employer or union coverage. You pay nothing for most covered preventive services if you get the services from a doctor or other qualified health care provider who accepts assignment. However, for some preventive services, you may have to pay a deductible, coinsurance, or both. These costs may also apply if you get a preventive service in the same visit as a non-preventive service.
