What is covered by Medicare Part B?
Part B coverage, which is voluntary, pays for all doctor services that are medically necessary. Beneficiaries may receive these services anywhere; a doctor's office, clinic, nursing home, hospital, or at home. The Part B monthly premium is deducted from your Social Security, Railroad Retirement, or Civil Service Retirement check. Beneficiaries who do not receive any of the aforementioned payments will be billed by Medicare every 3 months.
