2023 Numbers

2023 Part B premium: $164.90 

2023 Part B deductible:  $226

Translation:  
Medicare Supplements are not changing at all for 2023. They never change benefits, ever.
The 2023 deductible from Medicare will impact those on Plan G and Plan N.
That deductible will now be $226, down from $233 in 2022.
After that deductible is met after January 1, 2023, the Supplement plans kick in for the rest of the year.

Medicare Advantage and Part D plans are changing. They change every single year.
It is vitally important to review those changes from your Annual Notice of Change.
You can shop and compare new plans here: www.StartPartD.com up to December 7th at midnight.
Your chosen plan will start on January 1, 2023.

If, this year, you are considering giving up your Medicare Supplement and calling one of those scammy television ads for “FREE” Medicare Plans, please know that we write those plans, too, and can help without the hype. 

There are very important considerations that the call centers will not tell you, though, about Medicare Advantage. Please review those here: www.AllAboutMedicareAdvantage.com

Medicare Part A Premium and Deductible

Medicare Part A covers inpatient hospital, skilled nursing facility, hospice, inpatient rehabilitation, and some home health care services. About 99 percent of Medicare beneficiaries do not have a Part A premium since they have at least 40 quarters of Medicare-covered employment.

The Medicare Part A inpatient hospital deductible that beneficiaries pay if admitted to the hospital will be $1,600 in 2023, an increase of $44 from $1,556 in 2022. The Part A inpatient hospital deductible covers beneficiaries’ share of costs for the first 60 days of Medicare-covered inpatient hospital care in a benefit period. In 2023, beneficiaries must pay a coinsurance amount of $400 per day for the 61^st through 90^th day of a hospitalization ($389 in 2022) in a benefit period and $800 per day for lifetime reserve days ($778 in 2022). For beneficiaries in skilled nursing facilities, the daily coinsurance for days 21 through 100 of extended care services in a benefit period will be $200.00 in 2023 ($194.50 in 2022).

Enrollees age 65 and over who have fewer than 40 quarters of coverage and certain persons with disabilities pay a monthly premium in order to voluntarily enroll in Medicare Part A. Individuals who had at least 30 quarters of coverage or were married to someone with at least 30 quarters of coverage may buy into Part A at a reduced monthly premium rate, which will be $278 in 2023, a $4 increase from 2022. Certain uninsured aged individuals who have less than 30 quarters of coverage and certain individuals with disabilities who have exhausted other entitlement will pay the full premium, which will be $506 a month in 2023, a $7 increase from 2022.

Medicare Part D Income-Related Monthly Adjustment Amounts

Since 2011, higher income beneficiaries’ Part D monthly premiums are based on income. These income-related monthly adjustment amounts affect roughly 8 percent of people with Medicare Part D. These individuals will pay the income-related monthly adjustment amount in addition to their Part D premium. Part D premiums vary from plan to plan and roughly two-thirds of beneficiaries pay premiums directly to the plan, while the remaining beneficiaries have their premiums deducted from their Social Security benefit checks. Regardless of how a beneficiary pays their Part D premium, the Part D income-related monthly adjustment amounts are deducted from Social Security benefit checks or paid directly to Medicare. The 2023 Part D income-related monthly adjustment amounts for high-income beneficiaries are shown in the following table:

Premiums for high-income beneficiaries who are married and lived with their spouse at any time during the taxable year, but file a separate return, are as follows:
