What Medicare Part covers outpatient services, physician services, preventive services, and equipment?

Medicare Part B is the medical insurance that covers outpatient services, physician services, preventive services, and equipment. It pays for care you receive outside of the hospital setting—like doctor visits, lab tests, outpatient procedures, and preventive services such as screenings and vaccines. It also covers durable medical equipment, such as walkers or wheelchairs, when prescribed for use at home. By contrast, Part A covers inpatient hospital care and some related services, Part C (Medicare Advantage) offers private plans that bundle Part A and Part B (and often Part D), and Part D covers prescription drugs. This combination makes Part B the part that specifically handles the outpatient and physician-focused care, along with preventive care and equipment.
