Medicare Part B Deductibles Announced
Medicare Part B covers physician services, outpatient hospital services, certain home health services, durable medical equipment, and other items including chiropractic adjustments of the spine for subluxation.
CMS announced that the annual deductible for all Medicare Part B beneficiaries will be $183 in 2017 (compared to $166 in 2016). Premiums and deductibles for Medicare Advantage and prescription drug plans are already finalized and are unaffected by this announcement.
