Will My Medicare Part B Premium Be Higher Because of Income?

People who are age 65 and over get Medicare Part A and Part B. Medicare Part B charges a premium and will charge you more based on how much you make. For most people, the premium for Part B will be $164.90 per month (2023). However, if your modified adjusted gross income from 2 years ago is above a certain amount, you may pay an increased premium. The amount you pay can change each year based on your income.

Medicare Part A & B covers around 80% of your healthcare needs. Many people get a Medicare Supplement (also referred to as Medigap) to cover the rest. Medicare along with a supplement is great health insurance. Part A covers the hospital and Medicare Part B covers the doctors and tests.
