Which statement is a pro of Medicare Part B?

• A. Automatic deduction for premium
• B. Some types of preventative care not covered
• C. No ceiling on total spending
• D. Care not generally covered outside US

Answer: (A)

The main idea here is how Medicare Part B payments work. A clear benefit is that the Part B premium is automatically deducted from your Social Security benefits (if you receive them). This automatic deduction makes paying the monthly premium easy and helps ensure you don’t miss a payment and risk losing coverage. The other statements describe aspects that aren’t benefits. Part B actually covers many preventive services, often at no extra cost to you, so saying some preventive care isn’t covered isn’t accurate. The notion of no ceiling on total spending sounds like a potential downside, since Original Medicare doesn’t have a cap on out-of-pocket costs. And care outside the United States isn’t typically covered by Original Medicare, which is a limitation rather than a benefit.
