  • Part A – $157.50 will be the daily coinsurance amount for days 21–100 in each SNF benefit period (up from $152.00 in 2014)
  • Part B – $147.00 will be the annual deductible amount (same as in 2014)

PART A PREMIUM

Approximately 99 percent of Medicare beneficiaries do not have to pay a premium for Part A services because they have at least 40 quarters of Medicare-covered employment (or they are widowed spouse).

Most people who choose Part A in 2015 will pay a monthly premium of $407.00 (down from $426.00 in 2014).  Higher-income consumers may pay more.

PART B PREMIUM

The monthly Part B premium is based on a beneficiary’s yearly income.  Part B premiums for 2015 can be found in the attached document titled “Part B Monthly Premiums for 2015”.
