Connect NowMedicare out-of-pocket costs generally include premiums, deductibles and copays/coinsurance for covered services. For Part A, these costs are outlined below.
PART A (Hospital Insurance) – Premium, Deductible and Copays (during 2023)
You may qualify for premium-free Part A coverage (most people do) if you or your spouse has paid Medicare taxes, while employed, for at least 40 quarters. Otherwise, you will have to pay up to $506 as monthly premium for Part A services, based on the number of quarters during which you or your spouse paid Medicare taxes.
You may also be assessed penalties for delayed enrollment in Part A. Ensure that you enroll in time or have equivalent coverage from other sources, e.g. a group health insurance plan, enabling you to ‘defer' Part A until the time you lose the equivalent coverage.
The table below summarizes Part A out-of-pocket costs for care at various types of facilities.
