What is Medicare Allowable?
"Medicare Allowable" charges: Providers who participate with Medicare agree to accept the Medicare allowable charge as full payment. Bear in mind that because Medicare is an 80/20 plan, the patient is still responsible for the 20 percent of the allowable charges not paid by Medicare. * For example: You have chemotherapy in your physician's office and Medicare is billed $500.00 for the service. The Medicare allowable or assignment for your chemotherapy treatment is $300.00. Your physician is paid 80 percent of $300.00 or $240.00. You are responsible for only the $60.00 not paid by Medicare but considered allowable under Medicare UCR fee schedule. This is because participating Medicare providers may not bill the patient for the balance amounts above the Medicare allowable fee schedule (known as "balance billing"). It is important to verify that your provider "Accepts Medicare Assignment" or is a "Medicare Provider" to avoid unexpected and potentially large out-of-pocket expenses.
