How Much Does Medicare Pay For Doctor Visits? 
Less and less , just ask your doctor . Medicare pays on a fee scheduled basis and the reimbursement level varies based upon the type of doctor 's visit you are having and the services that are rendered . As such , there is no one flat amount that the doctor gets paid for any and all office visits . What is pretty consistent is that your doctor is almost certainly getting paid less to see a Medicare patient than they are getting paid to provide the same office visit service to a person covered under private health insurance . This is why you are seeing a steady shrinkage in the number of doctors who accept Medicare patients or who will take on any additional Medicare patients .
