Which Medicare Part covers most outpatient services, doctor visits, and preventive care?

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

Answer: (C)

Medicare Part B is the coverage that pays for outpatient services, doctor visits, and preventive care. It focuses on medically necessary services you receive outside of a hospital setting, such as physician appointments, outpatient tests, and screenings or vaccines to prevent illness. Part A covers inpatient hospital stays and some related care, not outpatient services. Part D handles prescription drugs. Part C (Medicare Advantage) combines Part A and Part B benefits and may include other coverages, but the specific outpatient and preventive services described are fundamentally Part B.
