    Medicare will pay their approved amount for your emergency room visit. It is covered under Part B of your basic plan. Of course, Part B covers many other expenses as well. If their is a copay (often there is), the patient is responsible for that amount. The copayment may be waived under specific circumstances.


    The treatment, however must be considered medically necessary. There also may be other expenses involved such as x-rays and lab test fees.

    An experienced broker can discuss additional specific details with you and discuss Supplement options, if applicable.

    In addition to what Ed posted, if you have original Medicare and a Medigap plan your out of pocket costs will be nominal.

    Medicare Advantage plans have a lot of moving parts with copay's, deductibles, coinsurance and a LOT of out of pocket costs.

    But with original Medicare and Medicare supplement plan N your exposure for an ER visit is a $50 copay.
