The Medicare approved amount is the maximum amount that Medicare will pay for a specific medical service or procedure. This amount is determined based on the type of service and geographic location, reflecting what Medicare considers reasonable and necessary. Providers who accept Medicare assignment agree to these approved amounts, which can affect the out-of-pocket costs for beneficiaries who may have additional insurance coverage.
