Under managed care, Medicare recipients can select a standard program in which physicians are covered by which part?

• A. Medicare Part B
• B. Medicare Part A
• C. Medicaid
• D. Private insurance

Answer: (A)

Physician services are covered by Medicare Part B. Part B covers outpatient care, doctor visits, and other professional medical services, while Part A pays for inpatient hospital care and some other services. Medicaid and private insurance are separate options, and Medicare Advantage plans (managed care) bundle Part A and Part B benefits, but physician coverage still originates from Part B.
