Traditional Medicare B is not; With Part B you can always find a doctor who is covered because there are no networks. Medicare B has a limited by law small % overhead to allow for increased cost of doing business. The Medicare Director does not make millions per year, either. CEOs of the insurance companies make obscene amounts of money.

Part B has the lowest cost per claim, fastest turnaround time, and lowest error percentage in the industry.
