the physician accepts assignment on Medicare, how much money will be
paid and posted in the patient account? - -$76.00
Rationale: Medicare Part B pays 80% of the allowed charged. $95.00
(allowed charge) is multiplied by 80% to get the amount of $76.00 payment.
-Using the above information, how much will the patient be billed for, after
Medicare's payment? - -$14.00
