Which Medicare Part pays for physician services, outpatient hospital services, durable medical equipment, and other services and supplies?

• A. Medicare Part A
• B. Medicare Part B
• C. Medicare Part C
• D. Medicare Part D

Answer: (B)

Medicare Part B covers physician services, outpatient hospital services, durable medical equipment, and other medically necessary services and supplies. It focuses on outpatient and professional care outside of an inpatient stay, while Part A covers inpatient hospital care, Part C (Medicare Advantage) combines A and B (and sometimes D), and Part D covers prescription drugs. So Part B is the right choice for funding these outpatient and professional services.
