With Original Medicare, you usually pay only your deductible and coinsurance, and the office sends the claim to Medicare for you.

Medicare assignment applies to Original Medicare. It does not tell you whether the clinician is in a Medicare Advantage plan's network, accepts other insurance, or is taking new patients.
