In Medicare Part B, what percentage of expenses does Medicare typically cover after the deductible is met?

In Medicare Part B, once the beneficiary meets their annual deductible, Medicare typically covers 80% of the approved expenses for services. This means that for most medically necessary services, such as doctor visits or outpatient care, beneficiaries are responsible for paying 20% of the costs after the deductible has been satisfied. This 80% coverage is designed to help manage healthcare costs for beneficiaries, allowing them to receive necessary services while only having to pay a portion of the expenses. Medicare's design encourages access to medical care, as the majority of costs are covered, reducing financial barriers for those enrolled in the program.
