Visiting Physician Services accepts Medicare Part B insurance coverage as well as private payments.

We accept “Medicare Assignment” which means the fees we charge are set by Medicare. Medicare Part B generally pays 80% of the Medicare-approved amount for covered services received after a $110 deductible is met. The beneficiary is responsible for the deductible and the other 20%. In many cases private insurance is utilized to pay the deductible and remaining 20%. This type of medical insurance is referred to as “supplemental coverage.”
 

Enrollment in Medicare Part B

To enroll in Medicare Part B, the individual must file an application with the Social Security Administration during the initial enrollment period. This is a seven-month period that starts three months prior to the month the beneficiary first meets the Medicare requirements.
