Your Monthly Premium
Cost | 2023 |
Monthly premium (You must continue to pay your Medicare Part B premium.) | $0 |
Your monthly plan premium will be more if you are required to pay a lifetime Part D late enrollment penalty for going without other drug coverage that is at least as good as Medicare drug coverage (also referred to as “creditable coverage”) for 63 days or more.
If you have a higher income, you may have to pay an additional amount each month directly to the government for your Medicare prescription drug coverage.
Maximum Out-of-Pocket
To protect you, Medicare requires all health plans to limit how much you pay “out-of-pocket” during the year. This limit is called the “maximum out-of-pocket amount.” Once you reach the maximum out-of-pocket amount, you generally pay nothing for covered Part A and Part B services for the rest of the year.
