How Much Do You Pay for Dermatology Services While under Medicare?
If you are enrolled under original Medicare, you will pay a little amount for any Medicare covered dermatology services you receive. You will pay about 20% for any service you receive while Medicare pays the remaining 80%.
If you are also enrolled into a Medicare supplement plan, you might end up not paying anything for any dermatology service you receive. This is because your Medicare supplement plan pays for any dermatology services you receive on its own and might cover the remaining 20% left from original Medicare.
If you have Medicare Advantage, you will have to contact your insurer to know how much of the services you receive that is covered by the plan. Your insurer will also give you the list of routine dermatology services covered by the plan.
If you are enrolled under Medicare Part D, [7] you might not pay for medications prescribed to you by your dermatologist. Medicare Part D helps to cover the cost of prescribed medications. But you have to make sure that these medications are included in your plan.
