Medicare doesn't cover spouses. Each person must have their own account and policy.
This is an important consideration if the older partner decides to retire before the younger one reaches age 65. If the younger person relied on the older partner for health coverage through their employer, they'll be responsible for their own medical insurance until they also reach age 65.

I know Medicare covers 80% and the patient is responsible for the rest, but do they cover 80% of their fee or is that fee on the fee schedule the most they will cover. ?
Medicare covers 80% of what they feel the service should cost. If your doctor accepts Medicare, he is aware of Medicare's policies and what his reimbursement will be. You will be responsible for 20% of what Medicare did not cover.
