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.

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.
