Does Medicare cover cardiac mri

Answer 1

This is directly from the Medicare and You 2009 book: Tests: Including X-rays, MRIs, CT scans, EKGs, and some other diagnostic tests. You pay 20% of the Medicare-approved amount, and the Part B deductible applies. See "Clinical Laboratory Services" on page 27 for other Part B-covered tests. If you get the test as a hospital outpatient, you pay a specified copayment that may be more than 20% of the Medicare-approved amount but can't be more than the Part A hospital stay deductible.
