What Is Medicare Part B?

Medicare Part B is the portion of Original Medicare that covers outpatient medical care. While Part A helps cover hospital services, Part B focuses on the medical care you receive outside the hospital.

This includes routine doctor visits, preventive services, lab tests, medical equipment, and many other healthcare services.

Most people enroll in Medicare Part B when they first become eligible for Medicare, typically around age 65. However, enrollment timing can vary depending on factors such as employer coverage.
