Medicare Part B Premiums Remain Static
Medicare Part B monthly premiums remain at $104.90 for most enrollees for 2014. And, for those with higher incomes, Part B premium rates did not rise for this year either. Please make note that for those with higher incomes, the Income Related Monthly Adjustment surcharge on Part D drug plans did increase for 2014. This IRMA charge can add up to $69.30 onto your monthly drug plan premium, so it’s important to monitor.
For additional information and a chart outlining Part B costs and Part D surcharges, please check the here at the Medicare website: http://www.medicare.gov/your-medicare-costs/costs-at-a-glance/costs-at-glance.html#collapse-4811 . As always, when you have questions please contact your J.W. Terrill consultant.
