Medicare coverage for physician-related care comes through Part B, which pays for medically necessary physician services such as evaluation, diagnosis, and treatment of health conditions. This is why services where a physician assesses a problem, makes a diagnosis, and provides or coordinates treatment are covered. In contrast, routine dental care like cleanings is not covered by Medicare, cosmetic surgery is generally not covered, and non-covered alternative therapies aren’t covered either. So the option describing physician services including diagnosis and treatment aligns with what Medicare covers.
