Which of the following is covered under Medicare Part B?

Explanation:
Medicare Part B covers outpatient medical services and preventive care, including diagnostic screenings ordered by a clinician. This means tests and screenings used to detect or diagnose health conditions that are done outside of an inpatient hospital setting fall under Part B. In contrast, inpatient hospital stays are paid by Part A, hospice benefits are Part A, and routine nursing home care isn’t covered as custodial care (with skilled nursing facility care possible only after a qualifying hospital stay under Part A). So diagnostic screenings fit Part B because they are outpatient preventive/diagnostic services.
