Medicare covers 80% of the approved amount for both the initial Nurse Practitioner consultation and your acupuncture visits, leaving you responsible for a 20% coinsurance. If you have a supplemental (Medigap) plan, it may cover some or all of that remaining 20%. If your Part B deductible hasn’t been met yet for the year, you’ll be responsible for the full cost of visits until it is. Once it’s met, the 80/20 split applies going forward
