The
Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) have announced the updated
premiums, deductibles, and coinsurance rates for Medicare Part A and Part B programs
for 2025, along with the income-related adjustments for Medicare Part D. Here’s
an overview of the changes:
Medicare Part A Premiums and Deductibles
Medicare
Part A provides coverage for inpatient hospital stays, skilled nursing facility
care, hospice, inpatient rehabilitation, and some home health services. Most
beneficiaries (about 99%) do not pay a premium for Part A, as they meet the
requirement of at least 40 quarters of Medicare-covered employment through the
Social Security Administration.
Part A Deductibles and Coinsurance for 2025:
·
Inpatient hospital deductible:
$1,676
·
Daily coinsurance for days 61-90 of inpatient hospital stay:
$419
·
Daily coinsurance for lifetime reserve days:
$838
·
Skilled nursing facility coinsurance for days 21-100:
$209.50
Medicare Part B Premiums and Deductibles
Medicare
Part B includes coverage for physician services, outpatient care, durable
medical equipment, certain home health services, and other healthcare services
not covered by Part A.
Key Updates for 2025:
- Monthly premium:
$185.00 (an increase of $10.30 from $174.70 in 2024)
- Annual deductible:
$257 (up $17 from $240 in 2024)
Beneficiaries
who have reached the end of their full Medicare coverage 36 months post-kidney
transplant and lack other forms of insurance may continue Part B coverage
specifically for immunosuppressive medications. The standard premium for this
coverage is $110.40, with adjustments based on income.
Medicare Part D Income-Related Adjustments
Medicare
Part D premiums are based on income and vary by the plan selected.
Beneficiaries will pay a monthly premium that reflects their income bracket in
addition to any adjustments for their specific plan.
