During your working life, you pay Medicare tax out of your paycheck. That tax pays for your Medicare Part A (hospitalization). When you turn 65 and enroll in Medicare, you can choose to enroll in Part B (medical/doctor's office). The premium for Part B for 2009 is $96.40 per month (if you make less than $85,000.00 per year) which is automatically deducted from your Social Security check.
Where do you pay Medicare b copay?
The Medicare Part B deductible for 2009 is $135.00. After you meet the $135.00 deductible, you will pay 20% of the bill unless you have a Medicare Supplement that pays the 20% for you. Some Medicare Supplements pay the $135.00 for you. If you have a Medicare Advantage Plan (Part C) your "copay" will vary between the type of plan, the company that offers it, and whether or not the doctor is a family doctor or a specialist. If you have one of these plans, usually a PPO or HMO, you don't pay the Medicare Part B deductible of $135.00
