This is especially important if you have Medicare Supplement plan G or Medicare Supplement plan N because you will receive bills from medical providers and you want to make sure you pay only the amount you’re responsible for.

The Part B Deductible is actually the medical deductible, so doctor visits, lab work, durable medical equipment are some of the type of claims that are applied towards the Part B deductible.

There are several easy techniques for tracking the Part B deductible. And, it's always a great idea to cross reference using the ideas in this video.

This will help if you get a bill from the provider that includes more than what you think you should pay. Medicare providers will sometimes send a bill and include the Part B coinsurance, so it's important to know what you've already paid.

This video includes a Client Case Study that shows exactly how you can accidentally be overcharged after meeting the Part B deductible.

And as a side note, if you have Medigap Plan N, you'll want to keep your co-pay and deductible information separate.

Overall, keeping track of the Medicare Part B deductible is very easy. It's also time well spent on the front end to avoid overpaying later on. This is especially important if you have Medigap Plan G or Medigap Plan N insurance.

Two Questions:

1.Why do the Doctor ($20) and ER ($50) co-pays for "Plan N" not apply toward the "Part B" $183 deductible?
2. What does apply toward the "Part B" $183 deductible?

How the hell are seniors supposed to enjoy their retirement and gracefully fade out while trying to keep up with all the ridiculous coverages and copays deductibles etc. IM OVER IT ALREADY!

I'm looking to do alot of traveling in an RV and that's why I went with Medigap instead of Advantage plan. So glad I found your video and you agree!! Yeah.

This is why I like plan F. I don't want to go through all this hassle with proving I paid the deductible.

Hi, Thanks again for all the useful info. I use Quicken to track all my financial data. All you need to do is create a Category called "Part B Deductible" and use it when entering payments. Then you can run a report by date range and Category to get the info you need.

[thomasroberts]

is the deductible a calender year or the plan year ?

For anyone who is tech savvy, using an app on your phone like Evernote, OneNote or Google Keep can be helpful. Record the payment information on the bill and snap a picture of the bill. Then send it to your app. It is saved there as well as your paper copy. I use that for all sorts of receipts and records.

OK, I am tracking my deductible and know its paid. How do you handle situations where you have visits to multiple providers very close in time and you know you paid the deductive at the first provider but Medicare is slow to update their system so the second and third provider each demand that you pay the deductible?

I would staple the credit card receipt to the doctor's office receipt to include services codes used in the actual billing...from a medical office manager and former nurse. The confusion comes when more than one provider bills Medicare on the patient's behalf.

Question do agents get commission on enrolling seniors 65 into Medicare Policy A&B if they haven't already done so?
Or only on the Medigap policies through a private insurer? Btw, You're beautiful, very informative and I love your videos! #willyoumarryme
