So we're talking about two different things (and thus in a sense, both right). By non-participating you're referring to Extra Charges as opposed to what I'm thinking of, a doctor who is not accepting Medicare payment at all and is thus unencumbered by its rules.
Yes, the first case is limited by Medicare Assignment. BTW, it's not exactly 15% either. It's a strange calculation. It's pretty rare. Plan G covers it. I think Mayo, Cleveland, ... may charge it. I don't know why a doctor wouldn't charge it but it's uncommon.
