Some physicians providers and suppliers that are out of a plan's network (i.e. out-of-network) accept 'assignment' from Medicare and will only charge up to a Medicare-approved amount. If you choose to see an out-of-network physician who does NOT accept Medicare 'assignment ' your coinsurance can be based on the Medicare-approved amount plus an additional amount up to a higher Medicare 'limiting charge.'

See the publications Medicare You or Your Medicare Benefits available on www.medicare.gov for a full listing of benefits under Original Medicare as well as for explanations of the rules related to 'assignment' and 'limiting charges' that apply by benefit type.
