Final answer:
Providers not participating in Medicare but who accept assignment are paid 95% of the Medicare-approved amount. Deductibles and copayments are part of the patient's responsibility, and Medicare's funding primarily comes from payroll deductions and beneficiary premiums.
Step-by-step explanation:
Medicare providers who elect not to participate in the Medicare program but who accept assignment on claims are typically paid 95% of the Medicare-approved amount for their services. Providers who fully participate in Medicare agree to accept the Medicare-approved amount as full payment for covered services, which includes collecting a deductible and copayments from patients. Non-participating providers who accept assignment on a case-by-case basis can decide whether to accept Medicare's payment terms for each individual claim.
Part of the provider's payment comes from the patient in the form of deductibles and copayments, as established in Medicare Part B. Since Medicare is funded partly by payroll deductions and beneficiary premiums, there are set percentages that outline the government's contribution and the responsible amounts for beneficiaries.
