Which service is NOT covered by Medicare Part B?

Medically necessary services provided by a clinician Clinical laboratory and diagnostic services Durable medical equipment and supplies Hospice care

Correct Answer:

Hospice care

Explanation:

Hospice care is not covered by Medicare Part B because hospice is a Part A benefit. Part B covers outpatient and clinician-provided services, including medically necessary services, clinical labs/diagnostics, and durable medical equipment. To receive hospice services, a patient must have Part A and elect hospice care, which is provided under the Part A hospice benefit rather than Part B.
