In 2025, you pay $257 for your Part B deductible. After you meet your deductible for the year, you typically pay 20% of the Medicare-approved amount for these:

• Most doctor services (including most doctor services while you're a hospital inpatient)
• Outpatient therapy
• Durable Medical Equipment (DME)

Medicare-approved amount 
The payment amount that Original Medicare sets for a covered service or item. When your provider accepts assignment, Medicare pays its share and you pay your share of that amount.

Hospital outpatient setting 
A part of a hospital where you get outpatient services, like an emergency department, observation unit, surgery center, or pain clinic.

Copayment
An amount you may be required to pay as your share of the cost for benefits after you pay any deductibles. A copayment is a fixed amount, like $30.

Assignment  
An agreement by your doctor, provider, or supplier to be paid directly by Medicare, to accept the payment amount Medicare approves for the service, and not to bill you for any more than the Medicare deductible and coinsurance.
