Which service would you expect Medicare Part B to cover?

Medicare Part B is designed to cover a variety of outpatient services that are necessary for a person’s overall health and wellness. Among these services, radiation therapy is specifically included as it is a treatment modality often used in the management of cancer. This therapy is considered a medically necessary service, and Medicare Part B provides coverage for it when it is administered in a qualified outpatient setting, such as a hospital or a specialized cancer treatment center.

The other options do not fall under the coverage of Medicare Part B. Long-term disability benefits are not a service covered by Medicare but rather are typically associated with private insurance plans or worker’s compensation. Foreign travel for medical emergencies is generally not covered by Medicare, as it typically provides coverage only within the United States, except for certain very limited situations. Inpatient emergency services are usually covered under Medicare Part A, which handles hospital stays, rather than Part B, which is focused on outpatient care.
