    Medicare Part B Premium and Benefits 2018

    Medicare Part B Premium and Benefits 2018

    A link has been provided below which  (Medicare Quick Reference Guide) (QRG) shows Medicare part B premium and benefits 2018, High F deductible, out of pocket for Medicare supplement plan L and K and other services such as skilled nursing.  The Medicare part B premium of $134 is staying the same for 2018.  There are a number of people that aged into Medicare when the premium was below $134. They have not been increased to $134 due to the Medicare Part B premium “Hold Harmless” provision.

    Under the Hold Harmless provision:

    About 70 percent of people will have a small increase their part B premium. The increase will be about equal to the their social security increase.  However, Medicare will not raise the premium all the way up to $134 for these people.  About only 30% of people do not meet the “hold harmless” guidelines.  These individuals will have to pay the full $134 for 2018.  Below is an explanation from Medicare about who does not qualify for “hold harmless”
    “Medicare Part B beneficiaries not subject to the “hold harmless” provision include beneficiaries who do not receive Social Security benefits, those who enroll in Part B for the first time in 2018, those who are directly billed for their Part B premium, those who are eligible for Medicaid and have their premium paid by state Medicaid agencies, and those who pay an income-related premium. These groups represent approximately 30 percent of total Part B beneficiaries.”
