2023 Medicare Rates Announced
Updated: Mar 2
On Tuesday, September 27th, 2022, CMS (Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services) announced the Medicare rates for 2023 as follows:
The Part B monthly premium base rate will be $164.90 (down $5.20 from $170.10 in 2022). The base rate applies if your modified adjusted gross income (MAGI) as reported on your IRS tax return from 2 years ago was $97,000 or less if you filed your taxes individually or $194,000 or less if you filed your taxes jointly. If your MAGI was higher, your Part B premium will be higher. For the complete chart showing Part B premiums for higher income individuals click here.
The Part B annual deductible will be $226 (down $7 from $233 in 2022).
The annual deductible for high-deductible Medicare Supplement (MediGap) Plans F and G for 2023 will be $2,700 (up $210 from $2490 in 2022).
The cost of the Part B monthly premium base rate affects virtually everyone on Medicare. You must pay your Part B monthly premium to remain on a Medicare Advantage plan and on original Medicare with a supplement. The Part B annual deductible affects only those on original Medicare Plans G and N with a supplement. If you're on a Medicare Advantage plan, the plan absorbs the Part B annual deductible. The annual deductible for high-deductible Medicare supplement Plans F and G affects only those who are on those high-deductible plans.
