However, if a Part B beneficiary has an annual individual income of more than $106,000, he or she will pay more for the standard premium plan.<\/p>\n<p>Those making over $106,000 but below $394,000 could be paying as much as $591.90 per month, and seniors with an income over $394,000 will be paying $628.90.<\/p>\n<p>Income-related monthly adjustments only affect about 8% of people who pay for Part B Medicare, according to CMS. <\/p>\n<p>The annual deductible for all Medicare Part B beneficiaries will go up in 2025 as well, rising to $257 compared to 2024&rsquo;s $240. In 2023, the premium fell just over $5 from 2022, equaling out to $164.90.<\/p>\n<p>The CMS stated that the reason Part B&rsquo;s standard monthly payment and deductible are increasing is &ldquo;mainly due to projected price changes and assumed utilization increases that are consistent with historical experience.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Part A price increases<\/h2>\n<p>Part A premium, which covers inpatient care, hospice care, and stays at skilled nursing facilities, will now cost $518 a month, increasing by $13 from 2024.

In 2024, it was $408.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Part D&rsquo;s new out-of-pocket spending limit<\/h2>\n<p>Part D, which <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\">covers prescription drug coverage<\/a>, is the only plan that is seeing an average monthly premium decrease. The Medicare Part D plan is estimated to drop from $41.63 a month in 2024 to $40 a month in 2025. <\/p>\n<p>Yet, much like Part B&rsquo;s plan, seniors with more income will pay more for their plans. The CMS says that a senior earning more than $106,000 a year but less than $133,000 will pay an extra $13.70 for his or her monthly Part D premium.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\"><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Part D will also be seeing a $2,000 out-of-pocket cap on prescription drugs in 2025, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aarp.org\/health\/medicare-insurance\/info-2024\/drug-costs-report.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">backed<\/a> by the AARP.
