Outpatient hospital services

Your diagnosis and treatment services are available to hospital outpatients as medical insurance. The target outpatient hospital service includes the following items.

Mental health care in some hospitalization plans when doctors prove that hospitalization is necessary without hospitalization

You usually do not give yourself specific drugs or biological substances. Generally, part B does not include prescription and over-the-counter drugs (sometimes called "self-administered drugs") you receive at the clinic. Furthermore, for safety reasons, there are policies that do not allow many hospitals to bring prescription drugs and other medications from their homes. If you have Medicare Prescription Insurance (Part D), these may be covered under certain circumstances. You may be required to pay for these medications and to claim your medication plan for refund. For more information please call the drug plan.

For all other services, you usually pay for your service for each service you receive in an outpatient hospital setting. The service you received at the hospital clinic may cover more than the same medical fee you paid at the clinic.

If you receive a hospital outpatient clinic at Critical Infirmary Hospital (CAH), your self-payment will be higher and there is a possibility that at part A hospital it will exceed the deductible hospital.

To know the cost of your test, project, or service, please consult your doctor or healthcare provider. The exact amount you owe may depend on a number of things such as:

Your doctor and other healthcare providers may advise you to receive services more frequently than Medicare insurance. Or they may recommend a service that Medicare does not cover. If this happens, you may have to pay some or all of the fee. Ask questions as to why physicians recommend a particular service and whether Medicare will pay

The self-burden amount of a single outpatient hospital service can not exceed the hospital's deductible amount. However, the total payment for all your outpatient services may exceed the hospital's deductible amount.

Establish a national health insurance pilot program to develop and evaluate collective payments for emergency hospital services, doctor's services, outpatient hospital services, and acute post-care services for 3 days before hospitalization and 30 days after discharge from the hospital. If the pilot program that achieves the above goal of not improving quality or reducing expenditure, create a plan to expand the pilot program. (The pilot plan will be created before 1 January 2013. The plan will be expanded as appropriate from January 1, 2016)

Part B covers outpatient clinical services. Normally, this means that you pay your own expense for each outpatient hospital service. This amount varies depending on the service. Note: The cost of self-payment for a single outpatient hospital service can not exceed the hospital's deductible amount. However, the total amount paid for all outpatient services may exceed the hospital's deductible amount. In general, prescription and over-the-counter drugs you receive at an outpatient clinic (such as an emergency room) are also called "self-administered drugs" and are beyond the scope of Section B. Furthermore, for safety reasons, there are policies that do not allow patients to bring prescription drugs or other medications from their own homes in many hospitals. If you have Medicare Prescription Insurance (Part D), these may be covered under certain circumstances. You may be required to pay for these medications and to claim your medication plan for refund.
