Instructions: Medicare allows patients to pay either a coinsurance amount (20 percent of the charge for procedures and services) or a fixed co-payment amount, whichever is less, for hospital outpatient services (when the hospital is a participating [PAR] provider). For each of the following, calculate the amount the patient is required to pay to the PAR hospital for the outpatient service provided. (The patient has already met the annual deductible required by Medicare.) 1. A patient underwent outpatient surgery to have one mole removed from the upper back. The charge was $65. The fixed co-payment amount for this type of procedure, adjusted for wages in the geographic area, is $15. 2. A patient underwent an outpatient chest x-ray that cost $75. The fixed co-payment for this type of procedure, adjusted for wages in the geographic area, is $25. 3. A patient underwent an outpatient oral glucose tolerance test. The charge for this procedure was $122. The fixed co-payment for this type of procedure, adjusted for wages in the geographic area, is $20. 4. A patient underwent toenail removal as an outpatient. The charge was $81. The fixed co-payment for this type of procedure, adjusted for wages in the geographic area, is $25. 5.
