Medicare Part B (Medical Insurance) covers these tests (like CT scans, MRIs, EKGs, X-rays, and PET scans) when your doctor or other health care provider orders them to treat a medical problem.

After you meet the Part B deductible , you pay 20% of the Medicare-Approved Amount of covered diagnostic non-laboratory tests done in your doctor’s office or in an independent testing facility. You pay a copayment for diagnostic non-laboratory tests done in a hospital outpatient setting.
What it is
