Medicare costsharing figures for 2020

Medicare has premiums, deductibles, and copays, like other health insurance. And virtually all those costs are going up in 2020. The standard Part B premium will go up almost $10 a month to $144.60 in 2020. The costsharing figures are calculated based on the previous year's spending and formulas in the Social Security Act. According to the federal Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services this year's increases are largely because of increases in the costs of physician-administered drugs in 2019. See the table below for other Medicare out-of-pocket costs beneficiaries will have to pay in 2020.
