Medicare Part B primarily covers which of the following?

Medicare Part B is designed to cover a range of outpatient health services, with a primary focus on physician services and outpatient hospital services. This includes services received in a doctor’s office, preventive care, diagnostic tests, and necessary treatments that do not require an overnight hospital stay.

By covering physician services, Medicare Part B allows beneficiaries to access necessary medical care from healthcare professionals, ensuring they receive timely treatment and management of their health conditions. Outpatient hospital services, such as emergency department visits or outpatient surgeries, are also part of this coverage.

In contrast, other areas of coverage, such as inpatient hospital services, are typically covered under Medicare Part A. Home health care can be covered under both Part A and Part B, but it is not the primary focus of Part B. Additionally, certain medications may be covered under Part D, which specifically pertains to prescription drug coverage. Therefore, the correct choice reflects Medicare Part B's emphasis on services provided in outpatient settings rather than inpatient hospital services or solely focused medication coverage.
