Medicare Part B Premiums Surge by $17.90 in 2025

Medicare Part B premiums to surge by $17.90 in 2025, totaling $202.90 monthly, outpacing Social Securitys 2.8% COLA. Experts warn this could consume up to 32% of the average Social Security increase, leaving seniors, especially those with modest incomes, grappling with higher healthcare costs. The average retired workers monthly benefit will rise by $56, but after the $17.90 Medicare Part B premium deduction, the net increase will be $38.10. A hold-harmless provision will cap the Part B increase for about 4 million beneficiaries, preventing their premium hike from exceeding their Social Security benefit increase. The annual deductible for Medicare Part B will also increase by $26, reaching $283 in 2026. DNN | The Daily News Now! The world’s first global local news network. Every city. Every story. AI powered.
