* Plans F and G also offer a high-deductible plan in some states (Plan F isn’t available to people new to Medicare on or after January 1, 2020.) If you get the high-deductible option, you must pay for Medicare-covered costs (coinsurance, copayments, and deductibles) up to the deductible amount.
** Plans K and L show how much they’ll pay for approved services before you meet your out-of-pocket yearly limit and your Part B deductible. After you meet these amounts, the plan will pay 100% of your costs for approved services for the rest of the calendar year.
*** Plan N pays 100% of the Part B coinsurance, except for a Copayment of up to $20 for some office visits and up to a $50 copayment for emergency room visits that don’t result in an inpatient admission.
