Medicare's 2023 Premiums and Important Dates

The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) have released the 2023 Medicare Part A and Part B premiums, deductibles, and coinsurance amounts.

Medicare Part A Premium and Deductible Changes

Medicare Part A covers inpatient hospital services, skilled nursing facility services, hospice services, inpatient rehabilitation services, and some home health care services.

The Medicare Part A inpatient hospital deductible that beneficiaries pay is $1,600, an increase of $44 from $1,556 in 2022. The Part A inpatient hospital deductible covers beneficiaries’ share of costs for the first 60 days of Medicare-covered inpatient hospital care in a benefit period. In 2023, beneficiaries must pay a daily coinsurance amount of $400 for days 61–90 of a hospitalization (vs. $389 in 2022) in a benefit period and $800 per day for lifetime reserve days (vs. $778 in 2022). For beneficiaries in skilled nursing facilities, the daily coinsurance for days 21–100 of extended care services in a benefit period is $200 (vs. $194.50 in 2022).¹

Medicare Part B Premium and Deductible Changes

Medicare Part B covers physician services, outpatient hospital services, certain home health services, durable medical equipment, and other medical and health services not covered by Medicare Part A.

Medicare Part B premium, deductible, and coinsurance rates are determined annually. The standard monthly premium for Medicare Part B enrollees is 164.90, a decrease of $5.20 from last year. The annual deductible for all Medicare Part B beneficiaries $226, a decrease of $7 from $233 in 2022.¹
