Medicare Part B Deductible – What It Is
Medicare Part B covers certain doctors’ services, outpatient care, medical supplies, and preventive services. Some people automatically get Medicare Part B (Medical Insurance), and some people need to sign up for Part B
Most people pay the standard Part B premium amount. The 2022 amount is $170.10-per-month. However, if your modified adjusted gross income is above a certain amount, you’ll pay more. That is the standard premium amount and an Income Related Monthly Adjustment Amount (IRMAA). IRMAA is an extra charge added to your premium. IRMAA is based on your IRS tax return from 2 years ago.

What Does Part B Cover?
Part B covers 2 types of services
- Medically necessary services: This includes services or supplies that are needed to diagnose or treat your medical condition. And, they meet accepted standards of medical practice.
- Preventive services: These are defined by Medicare as health care to prevent illness (like the flu). Or medical services to detect it at an early stage, when treatment is most likely to work best.
You pay nothing for most preventive services if you get the services from a health care provider who accepts the Medicare assignment.
