Parts of Medicare

Part A Hospitalization

As long as you have worked 10 years, or for 40 quarters, you receive this part for free.  There is a deductible for most people, but PART A does not cost a person any money. The Deductible for this is $1600 in 2023.

Part B Doctors

This part covers doctor visits, procedures, treatment, etc. For most people for the 2023 year, the cost is $164.50 per month. This is taken right out of your social security check. This part of Medicare covers 80% of your medical bills. There is no maximum out of pocket.

  • Cheaper Monthly Premium
  • Includes a drug plan
  • May include some extra benefits not tied to Medicare
