*On all Medicare-covered expenses, a doctor or other healthcare provider may agree to accept Medicare assignments. This means the patient will not be required to pay any expenses in excess of Medicare’s approved charge. The patient pays only 20% of the approved charge not paid by Medicare. **Physicians who do not accept assignment of a Medicare claim are limited as to the amount they can charge for a covered service. In 2024, the most a physician can charge for a service covered by Medicare is 115% of the approved amount for nonparticipating physicians (may vary state to state). Note: New York, the most a physician can charge for services covered by Medicare is 105% of the approved amount for nonparticipating physicians, For routine office visits covered by Medicare, a nonparticipating physician can charge up to 115% of the fee schedule amount.

Notes Once you have been billed $226 of Medicare approved amounts for covered services, your Part B deductible will have been met for the calender year.
