DEFINITION of 'Nonrenewable Resource'. A resource of economic value that cannot be readily replaced by natural means on a level equal to its consumption. Most fossil fuels, such as oil, natural gas and coal are considered nonrenewable resources in that their use is not sustainable because their formation takes billions of years.
Election-Enrollment in, or voluntary disenrollment from, an MMP, an MA plan or the traditional Medicare fee-for-service program (âOriginal Medicareâ) constitutes an election (disenrollment from Original Medicare would occur only when an individual enrolls in an MMP or MA plan).
Note that there are now several types of treatments and medical providers for which Medicare Part B pays 100% of the approved charges rather than the usual 80%. These categories of care include home health care, clinical laboratory services, and flu and pneumonia vaccines.
