Independent Agent & Medicare Supplement Specialist, reMEDIGAP, USA
Original Medicare Part A & B do not come with Co-Pays. You are, however, responsible for deductibles and co-insurance.
Co-pays are mostly associated with Medicare Advantage Plans and Prescription Drug Plans. The co-pays do have a wide range from one Plan to the next, so it is always a good idea to review the Outline of Coverage for the Plan you have or may be considering.
If you have a Medigap Plan (also known as Medicare Supplement insurance), there is one standardized plan that does have co-pays. With Plan N, the customer is responsible for co-pays for doctor visits. The co-pay will not be more than $20 for an office visit. Plan N also requires a $50 co-pay for an emergency room visit. This co-pay is waived if you are admitted into the hospital.
