2019 Medicare Numbers

What numbers are changed for the 2019 calendar year?

Here is a grid detailing the changes:

The standard Part B Premium amount is $135.50 in 2019 (an increase of $1.50 from $134 in 2018). It can be higher depending on your income.

Have questions on your situation and how the above changes relate to you and your coverage? Please contact me and I will be glad to review and answer answer any questions you may have.
