Medicare Part B typically requires paying what percentage after the deductible?

• A. 0%
• B. 10%
• C. 50%
• D. 20%

Answer: (D)

Medicare Part B cost-sharing is a coinsurance arrangement. After you meet the Part B deductible for the year, Medicare pays 80% of the approved amount for most outpatient services, and you pay the remaining 20% as coinsurance. For example, if a service is billed at $200 after the deductible is met, you would owe $40 and Medicare would cover $160. There can be exceptions for some services or provider arrangements, but the standard post-deductible share is 20%.
