Surgical expense is the part of basic insurance coverage that helps pay for surgery, including appendectomy for appendicitis. Hospital expense covers only the room and board charges, while physician expense covers fees of the doctor who performs the surgery. Major medical is a separate coverage that applies to high-cost medical expenses beyond the limits of basic coverage. Medicare Part B is a government-sponsored health insurance program for eligible individuals aged 65 and older, as well as for people with certain disabilities and medical conditions. It covers medically necessary hospital outpatient services, doctor's services, and preventive services. However, Joe Johnson's insurance coverage is not specified in the question.
