Medicare Part B (Medical Insurance)
covers a range of outpatient primary care and preventive services in a rural health clinic.
Your costs in Original Medicare
You generally pay 20% of the charges, and the Part B
deductible [glossary]applies. You pay nothing for most preventive services.
note:
To find out how much your test, item, or service will cost, talk to your doctor or health care provider. The specific amount you’ll owe may depend on several things, like:
- Other insurance you may have
- How much your doctor charges
- Whether your doctor accepts assignment
- The type of facility
- Where you get your test, item, or service
What it is
Rural health clinics furnish many outpatient primary care and preventive health services. Rural health clinics are located in non-urbanized areas that are in medically underserved or shortage areas.
