How Much Will You Pay for Medicare?


As you’re approaching age 65 you’re going to have a lot of questions (and you’re going to get hit with a mountain of marketing from people eager to tell you what to do).
One very common and important question is this: What will Medicare cost?
Let’s break it down into its various parts:
Medicare Part A is free to most people.
Medicare Part B does have a monthly premium. This is often deducted directly from your social security check (if you’re receiving social security. The Part B premium will also vary based on your household income.

Here are the Medicare Part B premiums for 2020:


You’ll pay this premium in addition even if you replace Original Medicare with a Medicare Advantage plan.

Other Medicare Costs

If you keep Original Medicare you’ll also want to buy a Medicare Supplement plan, which will fill in some of the gaps and out-of-pocket charges in Medicare Parts A and B. You’ll also need to get a Part D prescription drug plan. Both of these will have an additional monthly premium (the amount can vary significantly depending on where you live and the plan you select).
