The standard monthly premium for Medicare Part B enrollees will be $144.60  for 2020.

More about Part B: 

Original Medicare Part B (also known as Medical Insurance) covers outpatient hospital / emergency room visits, some preventative care, and physician services.  As it was announced on 11/08/19, the Part B monthly premium  will be $144.60, which is an increase of $9.10 from the $135.50 it was in 2019. (This is quite a jump from the $1.50 increase from 2018 to 2019).

The annual deductible will be $198, an increase of $13 from 2019. (This is also quite a jump from the $2 increase from 2018-2019). After your deductible is met, you typically pay 20% of the Medicare-approved amount for most doctor services (including most doctor services while you’re a hospital inpatient), outpatient therapy, and Durable medical equipment (DME).

“The increase in the Part B premiums and deductible is largely due to rising spending on physician-administered drugs. These higher costs have a ripple effect and result in higher Part B premiums and deductible.“

*Medicare Advantage Plans and Medicare Prescription Drug Plans are unaffected by this

This deductible covers beneficiaries’ share of costs for the first 60 days of inpatient hospital care in a benefit period. 

*This only pertains to enrollees who have 40 quarters of employment
