thank you
The docs can charge anything they want, but there are standardized medicare payments for each billing code with some minor deviations for local areas. By law, the patient is responsible for that 20% copay which may be assumed by the secondary. The doctor may elect to forgive the copay but must do so on an individual basis for each patient with documentation on inability to pay.

Yes, I understand this....I am just wanting to know if you all will share what you pay...the 20% if you do not have a secondary insurance.

Right now, I have private insurance, and I pay my neuro a $40.00 co-pay each visit.
If I elect the Medicare part B, with no secondary ins; what (on average) would my cost be for each office visit?

And what is the deductible to Medicare B?
