At ABC Medical Group in Los Altos, MA, the out-of-pocket costs for Medicare patients can vary based on several factors, including the type of Medicare coverage you have, the specific services you receive, and whether you have supplemental insurance such as a Medigap policy.

If you have traditional Medicare and ABC Medical Group accepts Medicare assignment, you will typically be responsible for the standard Medicare Part B deductible and coinsurance. In most cases, Medicare Part B covers 80% of the approved amount for medically necessary services, leaving you responsible for the remaining 20%. If you have a Medigap (Medicare Supplement) policy, this may help cover some or all of those costs.

If you are enrolled in a Medicare Advantage plan (Medicare Part C), your copays, coinsurance, and deductibles may differ depending on your specific plan. For example, some services—such as preventive care—might be fully covered with no out-of-pocket expense, while other services, like lab work or specialist consultations, may involve additional charges.

Because coverage and costs can vary, we recommend that you contact both ABC Medical Group in Los Altos and your Medicare plan directly to confirm which services are covered and to request estimates for any potential out-of-pocket costs before your appointment. Our staff is always available to answer your questions and help you understand your benefits.
