I'm aware Part A is mandatory- but Part B is elective.

I go to the doctor quite a lot- regular doctor and specialists. What does Part B cover/pay for?... do they cover cover co-pays for doctor visits and urgent care visits?

I will be paying about $40 for all office visits. If Part B covers these it will be worth it.

Bottom line- I'm hoping to find out what Part B pays for and if people here who have private insurance find Part B worth the expense of premiums.

Thanks!
