Which statement describes Medicare Part B?

Medicare Part B is the outpatient medical insurance piece. It covers medically necessary services you receive without being admitted to a hospital, such as doctor visits, outpatient procedures, labs, and preventive care. It also covers some chiropractic services, specifically manual manipulation of the spine to correct a subluxation when performed by a chiropractor and under medical necessity. This makes the description of Part B as “outpatient services plus chiropractic care” the best fit among the options, since inpatient hospital services fall under Part A and drugs are covered under Part D. (Note that not all chiropractic care is covered—coverage is limited to the specific chiropractic service described above.)
