Medicare Premiums in 2021
The basic Part B premium amount for 2021 is $148.50 per month, only a little more than the $144.60 per month premium in 2020. The Part D premium for drug coverage in 2021 has declined on average by 34.2% from 2017 choices. However, the basic Parts B and D premiums for 2021 are increased by a surcharge for high-income taxpayers who had modified adjusted gross income (MAGI) above a set amount in 2019.
