   Medicare Part B covers a wide range of diagnostic tests. Regarding ultrasounds being covered under Part B, the ultrasound must be completed on an outpatient basis and be deemed medically necessary to help diagnose a medical problem by your physician. If they're completed as an inpatient in a hospital, it would be covered by Part A.
   
   Part B will pay for 80% of the expenses - you're responsible for paying the other 20%. A Medicare supplement plan would cover these expenses.
   
   I hope the information is helpful - please feel free to contact me for assistance with your coverage and if you have any other questions. Thanks very much.
