Patients can use their Medicare once every 6 months, unless the doctor wants to see them more often.
Without a secondary insurance, the Medicare copay is $22 for new patients and $14 for prior patients (a prior patient becomes a new patient again if we have not seen them for 3+ years).

With a secondary insurance (and we accept all secondaries), the Medicare copay if $0.

If patient has a Medicare Advantage plan, that plan needs to be verified for routine benefits. If there is no routine benefit on a replacement plan, that patient would be a Self Pay.
We accept Medicare Part B. Patients who have Medicare Part A only (it will say that on card), only have hospital benefits, and cannot use that plan for other providers.
