Part A

  • The Part A Deductible is now $1,600 (an increase of $44)
  • The copayment for hospital days 61-90 is now $400 per day
  • For days 21-100 in a Skilled Nursing Facility (SNF), you will be responsible for $200 each day 

Part B

The Part B Deductible is now $226, a decrease of $7 from the previous year. With

Medicare Supplement Plan G

, this deductible is your only out-of-pocket cost.
For many people, Medicare Part B typically costs $164.90 per month, a decrease of $5.20 from 2022. You might be required to pay even more based on your 

MAGI

 (modified adjusted gross income).
If your MAGI is above a certain amount (as per your IRS tax return from 2 years ago), you’ll have to pay the standard premium and an income-related monthly adjustment amount (

IRMAA

).
The table below shows the cost of Medicare Part B, depending on your income:

Part D

Similar to Part B, your MAGI can influence how much your monthly premium is on Part D. The table below will help you determine your Medicare Part D premium based on your income bracket.

Many of the most significant changes to Part D Prescription Drug plans will result from government legislation in 2022.

Inflation Reduction Act

Insulin is one of the most expensive life-saving medications available. But starting on January 1, the cost of a month's supply of insulin will be capped at $35.
Also, starting in 2023, there will be better access to vaccines that the Advisory Council on Immunization Practices recommends. That means no more out-of-pocket costs for the

shingles vaccine

through your Part D prescription drug plan.
As a result of the Inflation Reduction Act, 2023 will be the last year you have to worry about the

Donut Hole on Part D

. The Donut Hole is a coverage phase of your prescription drug plan that charges you more out-of-pocket for your medication.

Conclusion
