Joe receives therapeutic treatment at a cost of $3000. How much would Medicare Part B pay?

Medicare Part B typically covers 80% of the approved medical expenses after the deductible has been met. Generally, for therapeutic treatments, once the deductible is satisfied, the cost that Medicare covers would be a percentage of the total billed amount.

In this scenario, if Joe's treatment costs $3000, Medicare Part B would cover 80% of that amount. To calculate it:

1. Multiply the total cost of the treatment ($3000) by 80% (0.8).

2. This gives you $2400, which is the amount Medicare Part B would pay for the therapeutic treatment.

Thus, the correct amount that Medicare Part B would pay for Joe's $3000 treatment is indeed $2400.
