FYI, Medicare is our government insurance for older or disabled people and is paid for mainly with taxpayer dollars as well as “small” premiums by members.

Screenshot of an itemized bill.The first line is a charge for an initial outpatient appointment lasting longer than 60 minutes, and is for 679 USD. The second line is a payment from Medicare for 149.49 USD. There is a third line for a Medicare Adjustment of 491.38 USD. The total patient responsibility is listed at the bottom and is 38.13 USD.
