Medicare Premiums in 2020

The basic Part B premium amount for 2020 is $144.60 per month. The Part D premium for drug coverage in 2020 ranges from $13 to $83 per month (depending on the drug plan selected). However, high-income taxpayers with modified adjusted gross income above a set amount in 2018, pay an additional amount for Parts B and D premiums for 2020.
