Medicare Costs at a Glance

April 5, 2019

Most of us did not pay a monthly Part A premium in 2018, and those of us who did paid up to $422 on average every month. In 2019, average monthly Part A premiums will increase to $437.
When it comes to your Part A hospital inpatient deductible, youll be paying $1,364 for each benefit period, up from $1,340 in 2018. For the first 60 days in the hospital, your insurance co-pay will remain at $0, but after that you can expect costs to increase. For days 61 to 90, daily coinsurance will be $341 per day during each benefit period. After 91 days, your coinsurance for each lifetime reserve day will be $682. This figure applies for up to 60 days over the course of your life, and youll still be responsible for all costs if you exceed your maximum number of lifetime reserve days.
