This includes deductibles, coinsurance, and copayments. If you get a bill, tell your provider or the debt collector that you’re in the QMB Program and can’t be charged for Medicare deductibles, coinsurance, and copayments. For more information, call

Physician Compare helps you find doctors who accept Medicare, so you can make an informed decision for your health care needs. It’s an easy way to see up-to-date information about clinicians anytime you need it. Watch this short video to see how Mike and Ann use Physician Compare to search for a new provider in their area. Learn more about how to find and compare doctors and other clinicians at Medicare.gov
