The Medicare Part B approved amount is a reasonable amount of money that Medicare says the doctor or provider is allowed to bill. You can get more details here: http://www.medicare.gov/Publications/Pubs/pdf/10050.pdf See pages 25 and 47

Medicare has limits on the amount of money they will pay for specific services. When a doctor or medical facility submits a claim to Medicare, Medicare will tell the provider how much money they will pay. This is normally called the "allowed amount" or the "assignment." Only Medicare themselves have access to the actual dollar amounts.

Does Medicare cover cardiac mri?

This is directly from the Medicare and You 2009 book: Tests: Including X-rays, MRIs, CT scans, EKGs, and some other diagnostic tests. You pay 20% of the Medicare-approved amount, and the Part B deductible applies. See "Clinical Laboratory Services" on page 27 for other Part B-covered tests. If you get the test as a hospital outpatient, you pay a specified copayment that may be more than 20% of the Medicare-approved amount but can't be more than the Part A hospital stay deductible.
