In this article, we'll discuss everything you need to know about the upcoming changes to Medicare Part B. But first, let's review the healthcare services covered by Medicare Part B for those new to the program.
Medicare Part B is a part of Original Medicare
It covers two types of services:
Essential medical services — medically necessary services and supplies required to diagnose or treat a medical condition
Preventive services — designed to help prevent illness or detect it early
Some examples of services and supplies covered by Medicare Part B include:
Ambulance services
Clinical research
Diagnostic laboratory tests
Doctor visits
Durable medical equipment — hospital beds, blood sugar monitors, oxygen tanks, wheelchairs, walkers, etc.
Therapy
Screenings
Vaccinations
Transplants
Limited outpatient prescription drugs
Your Medicare Part B costs include your monthly premium and the annual deductible. Here's what you'll pay in 2025:
Monthly premium — $185
Your premium may vary depending on your MAGI
For example, if your MAGI exceeds a certain amount (as per your IRS tax return from 2 years ago), you may be subject to an income-related monthly adjustment amount (IRMAA)
Annual deductible — $257
Everyone enrolled in Medicare Part B must pay the premium, unless you receive state assistance (Medicaid). If you receive Social Security benefits, the Part B premium will be automatically deducted from your monthly payment; if not, you'll receive a quarterly bill.
Coinsurance - 80% of the bill after the deductible. You'll pay the final 20%.
Example: You have a $50,000 surgery. You first pay the deductible ($257), then Part B pays 80% (about $40,000) and you pay the final 20% (about $10,000).
The following table displays Medicare Part B (and Part D) premiums based on income.
